“Miss, where were you yesterday?”
Students notice and they expect you to be there

“Is there a right answer to this?”
What is truth? What is right? Who says?
Students may be seeking the magical right answer to be confirmed by the teacher, but we know science is subjective and changes.

Discovering the TruthLessons Learned—As science educators, we
push students to realize that they are discovering and “the truth”—as what was found based on evidence!
Windschitl, 2008, Clough, 2000

“You doing too much”
Why do we hear this refrain all the time?
Kids shut down when they: Feel disrespectedFeel overwhelmed or incapable to do the workThere are external factors impacting them

Courage“Courage is the most important of all the
virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage”
- Maya Angelou
Without courage, you won’t be able to help people, no matter how “talented” or “capable” you are. Being a good teacher requires courage.

Compassion“I’ve learned that people will forget what you
said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
- Maya Angelou
Without a heart committed to the good of others, you won’t have a positive, constructive impact. Being a good teacher means caring and making a difference.

Professional Commitments You need 100% of your attention and faculties in
teaching. Leave “baggage” at the door and be present for your kids.
Be well organized.
Be a whole person and respect your students as whole people—invest in their lives more than just the academic.
Don’t be afraid to try and fail—that is how you learn and grow.
