With vaccination rates going up, the country is on track to having a full-out Fourth of July. However, before we embrace the sunny freedom of the season, we should remember to thank those who were here for us this year. Our teachers have navigated online learning and been there to support us. In today\u2019s blog, we\u2019ll talk about all that an educator does for us and how we can show our appreciation for their efforts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-the-life-of-a-teacher\">The Life of a Teacher<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following along with this <a href=\"https:\/\/courses.gooroo.com\/courses\/becoming-a-teacher-a-focus-on-bilingual-education\/884\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">day in a life as a teacher<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Waking-up Early<\/strong>. Most educators arrive at school before their students have even woken up. This is because they need to make copies, and update their boards to show the day\u2019s objective, assignments, and other information.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Morning Announcements<\/strong>. While some schools have building-wide intercom updates, teachers are responsible for any additional admin students need to be aware of.<\/li><li><strong>Classes<\/strong>. Sharing a positive attitude, these educators set the tone for the school day.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Prep Time<\/strong>. During their \u201cfree\u201d periods, teachers need to prep for their next classes and plan for any upcoming meetings. If they work with other educators, then this is the time they\u2019ll collaborate on goals for the department.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>Lunch Time<\/strong>. Depending on what grade-level they teach, educators have about 20 minutes to eat their lunch.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>After School<\/strong>. Like in the morning, teachers stay after the students have left to tidy their classrooms and grade papers. Because of their under-payment in some states, they may also have to get to a second job.\u00a0Additionally, some teachers help with extracurricular activities. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"709\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/24121859\/element5-digital-OyCl7Y4y0Bk-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/24121859\/element5-digital-OyCl7Y4y0Bk-unsplash.jpg 709w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/24121859\/element5-digital-OyCl7Y4y0Bk-unsplash-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-why-become-an-educator\">Why Become an Educator?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Be a positive mentor.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Help students learn more effectively.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Inspire future generations.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Improve all children\u2019s lives.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>(Coincidentally, theses are all things that Gooroo is passionate about, too!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"h-skills-educators-need\">Skills Educators Need<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Communication \u2014 Including Conflict Resolution<\/li><li>Patience<\/li><li>Creativity<\/li><li>Enthusiasm<\/li><li>Dedication<\/li><li>Organisation<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"709\" height=\"472\" src=\"https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/24121913\/kelly-sikkema-fvpgfw3IF1w-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/24121913\/kelly-sikkema-fvpgfw3IF1w-unsplash.jpg 709w, https:\/\/gooroo-blog.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/2021\/05\/24121913\/kelly-sikkema-fvpgfw3IF1w-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-how-to-show-appreciation\">How to Show Appreciation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, a lot of hard work goes into being a teacher.
