little warmer and a little wetter by week’s end we’ve got that coming up in your full
forecast in about 10 minutes.
>> All righty this
morning we’re celebrating to
move all feature
the year.
>> So it was Friday, the Annie
awards then Lena Hall Yano on
the on our watch what happened.
>> This young teaches 10th grade language arts at Raines and he’s alive with us here on
the morning show that.
>> But I loved your reaction it
was almost like what you see it
a beauty pageant you’re waiting
you’re holding hands of things
ideas there. Why are you
hearing your name.
>> I was not prepared. I
was just really humble and
really really excited all same
time to start
to cry.
>> All and you’ve gotten some
recognition cents you’re
telling the full story rests on
our time I go to Sam’s or
walmart people approach me like
are you that teachers. Yes,
yes, I am.
So people in the community
recognize I mean you know just
wishing me up.
So tell us a little bit about
in a you’ve been teaching took
12 years specifically then at
Raines tells a little bit about
your experiences and what you
focus on I know it’s language
arts now you motivate your
students.
>> Oh my gosh, how
motivation is key, especially
for teenagers itself is a rare
tension it really is really is
that you could have a tie like
their personal interests into
what you do every day so we
always talk about their career
interests and you know why
they’re in English class and
why it’s so important to be you
know a really good critical
thinker.
>> And what you do is you
recognize. The potential in
each and every child and loop
it or not I hate to say it but
not every teacher does that.
>> Well you know it. Our job is
to release their full potential
that really is our job and to
open them up to all these
potentials of possibilities
this little that are capable of
anything really. So I’m I know that to one of your accolades is it that you helped to
increase the reading
proficiency by something like
29%.
>> Is there a secret or 2 that
may be a
a new teacher who’s watching
and teaches language arts can
kind of learn from you on how
you do something like that
because
it’s not it’s not easy because
you have to get everyone’s
attention that you’re working
to do with all the students.
>> But you know I think I think
back to what made me be
successful as a student.
My teachers would help me track
my growth
and to let them understand that
a growth mindset is that
everyone grows at a different
pace and since you do that they
watch themselves grow.
Week by week month by month and
they can see it
every day they get excited they
get motivated and they put in
the hard work I just provide
instruction but there are so
many more distractions
today, how do you help the kids
get over those distractions all
you guys watch the video, I’m a
child of that
Miss Hall make sure that we’re
safe and warm and she lets
us charge our phones get him to
do anything. Yeah charts so.
>> So is it is it, you
know there are obviously
certain state requirements, you
know when you’re working with
the kids is
how do you get the kids
interested in that because they
could really between you know I
ready and everything else they
can really some of
Crest faster some of them don’t
progress as well how do you
keep that kind of average there
so that
those are maybe a little
smarter you’re keeping their
interest in those who have to
work a little
bit harder, you’re getting them
to do that so they kind of stay
with the average, it’s always
about differentiated
instruction and of course you
have to kind of meet the kids
where they’re at and then
provide.
lesson or activity that is
actually on their level ripped
from the people that are also
like minded so that they can
work this space and they can
work at
this pace but growth mindset
still states they’re all
successful to I think the thing
that I’m hearing through
everything that you said is.
>> These kids are individuals
and you know you know what I’m
teaching is a class.
I recognize the individual
potential individual challenge
that each of these students
have.
>> Absolutely I would agree
with you and I think the kids
recognize that and that’s why
they get so excited when they
do grow.
>> So that’s why the respect to
the beach and that’s why the
teacher the arrows are you look
