Lately, I've read and posted a few articles on the importance of you, the teacher. We do know that what we do, how we feel, how we treat our students are noticed by our students and can have a lasting impact. Just how so is described in this reflective article written by July Wallis who recently attended her 50th class reunion. (My goodness!....50 years and she's still kicking!) Socialization among her old classmates included views of teachers they had. Read what she heard.
Reflect on your own past experience as a student. What remains in your mind about your own teachers? Interestingly, the article points out that students will not remember the subject content but will remember the teacher who taught it.
