SEGUE: Had a great day at Newseum & RoadTrip Nation (TEACH)


This is one of the wonderful videos shared today!


Additional nuggets from Arne Duncan & the RoadTrippers:

"Teaching is like quantifying majic"
"If you haven't failed enough in your area of passion, then you haven't learned enough"

There is a wealth of wonderful teaching going on around the nation and the three RoadTrippers got a chance to see that first hand.  They interviewed teachers across the country while touring the US for 3 months in the Road Trip Nation RV.

Arne Duncan discussed reframing the conversation about teaching.  In Korea, teachers are considered 'nation builders'.  We are nation builders here and our perception of "just a teacher" needs changing.

How do we attract and retain talented people to serve in such a wonderfully challenging job?
