The Influential Teacher | Learning How to Teach

Stress is the teacher's worst enemy. It comes from everywhere: students, their parents, other faculty and administrators. But wouldn't you agree that it's mostly the students? Many days all you can manage to do once you get home is have a snack and take a long, hard nap. Meanwhile, your students are running and playing outside with their friends, or they are inside laughing, playing video games, and watching movies. They aren't worried about you, and they didn't take a single bit of stress home after the bell rang. That's because they gave all the stress to you! And you took it. Since you have been unaware of how all this works, you have followed this same cycle day after day, year after year. To be the best teacher you can possibly be, this cycle has to stop. The secret to being a stress-free teacher is so remarkably simple that you may have overlooked it.

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 :)
