Wouldn’t it be nice to have a job where you only have to work from 8 to 3 and you get the summers off? Most teachers would like to slap the person who says that.
Teaching is a FULL-time job, and it demands your evenings grading papers, constant further training and development, out-of-town conferences during the summer, and so forth. I’m always amazed with the dedication of the thousands of teachers I see at various conferences that I speak at. Late last month I keynoted a teachers conference in Dallas. I spoke to over 1,200 educators. I wish I could have bottled the enthusiasm in that hall; it was incredible!

I was one of those teachers in Dallas this summer. What an incredible, amazing job Steve did! Thank you Steve, for renewing my enthusiasm for Science and the realization that if my kids are asking questions, I’m teaching science! If I can only get up the courage to do the 2-liter soda and Menthos for Meet the Teacher Night in August! I’m wondering if it would work on a slightly smaller scale? Thanks again!

We miss you on 9News at 4pm. Could we arrange to have you speak to my Elementary Interns or to my Future Educators of America group at ThunderRidge High School in Highlands Ranch? Can we contact you for ideas for teaching science in the elementary? You are a real asset to education!!
