Modeling Our Love Of Science To Teach With Enthusiasm

Lab In Every Lesson

As a science teacher in virtual school, I have the unique opportunity to watch recordings of the classes I lead.

This can be an excruciating activity for many reasons, not the least of which is realizing just how boring class can get and how slowly time passes.

But, it's empowering to know that when we teach with enthusiasm, the students don't feel that sense of boredom and time actually passes very quickly!

As education initiatives continue to emphasize STEM skills and careers, it's especially important for science teachers to demonstrate their own interest and love of the content daily. Doing so enables us to more naturally teach with enthusiasm and serve as inspiring mentors to our students.

In this video, I guide teachers through a reflection of what they present of themselves to students each day when they meet using a variety of clips from teachers in TV and movies as a muse.
