That Noble Title…Teacher
-By Trish Marcuzzo, Omaha Public Schools
As we begin each new school year, let us remember the fine nuances and
the distinguishing essence of that proud word Teacher.
Let us be reminded of the tools you have at your command, because of your talents, your traits
and your training…and because you chose to become a Teacher.
Teacher – you are a poet, as you weave with your colorful magic language a passion for your subject…
Teacher – you are a physicist, as you bring magic, logic, reason and wonder…
Teacher – you are a maestro, a master of composing, as you conduct and orchestrate individuals’
thoughts and actions…
Teacher – you are an architect, as you provide each student a solid foundation…
Teacher – you are a gymnast, as you encourage the contortions and gyrations of thoughts…
Teacher – you are a diplomat and the ambassador of tact and sensitivity…
Teacher – you are a philosopher, as your actions and ethics convey meaning and hope…
As you prepare for your first day and each day, when your students enter and you encounter their attitudes,
ranging from eager, enthusiastic anticipation to uncomfortable, uncertain apathy, recall the powers you
have within…from poet to philosopher…and present yourself to those students as a
person worthy of the noble title… Teacher.

Expect a successful session.
Decide your aim…What do you want to know that you do not already know? Which skills do you want to build?
Actively look for the “What’s in it for me?” in each session.
Ask, “What can I learn from this session?” Determine how you will use this knowledge in developing lessons for your students.
Keep a planner handy to set goals, assign yourself timelines and reminders.
Expand your network. Have plenty of business cards on hand.
Use the presenters as resources. Ask for their assistance beyond the presentation.
