What is your favorite movie or TV series?

Question 2

 

Answer: Movie, Groundhog Day

... The movie is a great metaphor for what we, as career educators, do in schools. 

Now, you might be startled by that statement — let me explain. The reason that I draw the connection between school and a movie about “a miserable man stuck in a time loop” is the happy ending!

Educators, like Bill Murray’s character, Weatherman Phil, relive the same time period over and over again. School life is cyclic — for us, the time period is a year, and for Phil it is a single day. Good educators, like Phil in the movie, try new things in hopes of the desired outcome of student success. Great educators, like Phil, take advantage of the repetitions to learn and adjust for the desired outcome in the end. It’s important to note that a “great day” takes work — “an awful lot of work,” as Phil says.

Answer:  TV Show, Beat Bobby Flay 

... I love to cook, and I love this creative format for a cooking competition. I can watch it for hours.
