Example 1
Mr. Huggins stayed after school to help tutor students which is a good example of being supportive. Sociable, very outgoing and always willing to help.
Example 2
I was a part of student patrol which Mr. Huggins was in charge of. I helped people to cross the street safely. Mr. Huggins was out there everyday with student patrols ensuring student safety
Example 3
I was chosen to write a speech for my fifth grade promotion. I was nervous but Mr. Huggins encouraged me to do it and even offered to help me write my speech.
Characteristic #2: Dedication
Example 1
Mr. Huggins was dedicated to making sure that students were coming to tutoring, if they did, there was an incentive; going to the community swimming pool, treats, and also getting to go to baseball games
Example 2
I had trouble with math, went to after school tutoring and Mr. Huggins helped me and made sure I understood the material. He walked me through each problem and showed me other ways of solving math problems. He dedicates his time to helping students individually if they need it.
Example 3
He was intrigued by the diverse background of students. Always wanted to meet students families and dedicating time to build connections with parents.
Characteristic #3: Passionate
Example 1
Mr. Huggins was passionate about not bullying others. For instance, if someone said anything negative about another person, Mr. Huggins was quick to catch it and call you out on it. He did not tolerate name calling one bit. It helped students to recognize that what you say can be hurtful and your actions will have consequences.
Example 2
As I visited Mr. Huggins several years later, he moved to another school to teach Kindergarten. I can tell he loved his students because he talked about how bright they were and how much they wanted to learn (at the age of five!).
Example 3
Unfortunately Mr. Huggins had to get a knee replacement and after several months of being out, he returned to school still wanting to teach. He was elated about returning to school.
Teacher #2
Characteristic #1: supportive
Example 1
Jaime Escalante showed his students that he was supportive by being available and establishing connections between his students and himself.
Example 2
Some of his students were having trouble outside of school. In one scene, one of the students wanted to go work for his uncle at a car shop and Mr. Escalante took him out for a drive and showed him that he is in charge of his own path. He supported his students outside of the school environment.
Example 3
Mr. Escalante supported his students even when one of the girls wanted to quit. The girl whose mother said “boys won’t like you if you’re too smart”. He wanted them to want to learn on their own and even though she felt like quitting, she probably realized that she had something to prove to Mr. Escalante and that his efforts for helping her were not wasted.
Characteristic #2: dedication
Example 1
As Mr. Escalante prepped his students for the AP calculus exam, he dedicated his time after school and on weekends to his students to make sure that they succeed in passing the exam.
Example 2
He dedicated his time and volunteered to teach English to members in the community
Example 3
Mr. Escalante was dedicated to teaching that he lost sight of spending time with his family
Characteristic #3: passionate
Example 1
Mr. Escalante made his lessons interesting and included his students. He was creative with his ideas so that his troubled students were not bored with the lesson
Example 2
After the students were accused of cheating, Mr. Escalante made sure that his students would retake the test to prove them wrong. He knew his students were smart and claimed that the testing agency was only picking on them because GHS had students who were poor, illiterate, and were minorities. The testing agency probably thought that it wasn’t possible for them to pass unless they all cheated.
Example 3
In one scene, Mr. Escalante showed up to one of the student’s family restaurant, tried to convince her father to let her go to college instead of working at restaurant. He was passionate about education and wanted others to succeed so that they can do something great in their life.
While Mr. Huggins and Mr. Escalante were from two different areas, their goals were essentially the same; to teach. They wanted to see their students succeed and recognize their own potential. While they have many similarities, Mr. Escalante was laid back in a sense that he did not worry when his students did not show up for class. He made sure that they take full responsibility for their actions and if they wanted to show up late, they should not come to class at all. Mr. Huggins would bug you the next day if you didn't tell him beforehand why you didn't come to tutoring. They may have minor differences but they still put forth the roles that teachers should play in their students’ lives; being supportive, passionate, and dedicated.
