PEERS QUESTION AND POST:

Why is it so important as an educator to impact and inspire students in the classroom?

Through the years from elementary to high school, there were many teachers that had a huge impact in my life. Some teachers would present the material and that would be that, while others would put so much into the lesson such as creating different types of visuals, discussing the lessons more in-depth and just allowing it to come to life. The YouTube video titled, "Start with Why", by Simon Sinek, brought out many important points in knowing "Why" you are doing a particular task. His mentors ended up helping him to want to read by opening up his mind to understand why it is important to basically read. Another point the video brought out is by having great leaders truly will impact and allow more action from people because it opens up more understanding in "Why" you are doing something and not feeling like you are wasting your time (FightMediocrity, 2015) Most teachers in my life seem like they just would present the material because it was what they had to do, and it was what I had to do to pass.
