teacher
All about teachers and the world of teaching; teachers sharing their best and worst interactions with students, best teaching practices, the path to becoming a teacher, and more.
Sister Emilita D'Entrement
My first long-term relationship outside of my family unit was with my grade primary to grade four teacher. The Catholic Church operated most of the elementary schools in our province during the 1960's and the nuns were the teachers. Laying the foundation for all learning experiences related to the outside world was the purview of Sister Emilita D'Entremont.

Teaching
The first year of teaching is easy! **SAID NO TEACHER EVER** I started out as an Early Childhood Education major. After the first year, I had a hard time with some relationships in my personal life. I did some soul searching and like many, questioned my degree choice. After graduating with a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies, with a minor in Psychology, I thought I'd take to the business world.

Lies My Teacher Told Me
Every good story begins “Once upon a time…” This is the greatest story ever told. This is the story of us – of humanity. There will be no discussion of creation or evolution. That is a different discussion for a different day. This is one of the lies my teacher told me.

5 Reasons to Take up Teaching as A Profession
“To teach is to touch a life forever.” I still remember my teacher from 5th grade. She used to handle science for us. All the students used to eagerly wait for her classes because she taught from her heart. Of course, we didn’t know this back then because we were just kids. She made science fun. She would always have either a plant, flower, or some sort of models with her and she enacted things. It did not feel like we were forced to learn. Learning was more like a result of the stories that she told us and the activities that she made us do. I am thorough with the “states of matter” lesson because of the way it was taught. I am sure you would also have a teacher that touched you and went beyond textbooks to teach you.

Why Learning History Matters
As a Social Studies teacher, and enthusiast, "Why do I have to learn about some dead person," and, "History is so boring... memorizing all those dates and stuff..." are common complaints- And hey!

Here are some (possibly) unexpected reasons how history can help you.
