"Klein, it's like you're all 'Science is great!' everyday..." said a student of mine to me the other day. He's not always the most engaged student, bright but aloof, rarely giving feedback or using his voice in class. So, how did I reply? I simply smiled and said, "Thank you."
When a teacher has a sincere enthusiasm for his/her content, in addition to enthusiasm for teaching, students feel it. He noticed; the others must as well. Even when they don't demonstrate it, students are taking in EVERYTHING. A teacher's attitude is amongst the most crucial for student learning. If students don't connect with you, if they don't feel that you care about what you're doing, they will check-out. Keep students checked-in. Boldly show them that you LOVE what you're doing each and every day. As a science teacher, it's hard not to. My student was right, I do think and feel that SCIENCE IS GREAT, EVERY DAY!!!!! Scientifically yours, Nadene
