The Influential Teacher | Learning How to Teach

I'm sure teachers can and do make a difference, but this story was entirely made up. It was originally a piece of fiction written by Elizabeth Silance Ballard.

Google "teddy stoddard story" and you'll see the link to snopes dot com.

I hope the same feeling can be cross-applied out of teaching and into other career paths.

Very emotionally impactful video with an incredibly powerful message about what I consider to be the true purpose of teaching: making a positive difference in the lives we touch. This is a great reminder about connecting with our students on a more authentic level, getting to the core of who they really are and what's really going on for them in their lives. And then exploring how we can truly assist them in soaring to the heights they were destined to reach in this lifetime! :-)

Wow I was crying through the whole video...what a touching story. As a beginning teacher it was a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing it :)
