    To Sir With Love: The teacher (Sidney Poitier)adapts to his students' interests as a means of reaching them ... and then moving them forward.

    My favorite teacher movie is Freedom Writers, because Ms. Priester stars in it! Supposedly, the lead actress is Hilary Swank but we all know that it really was Ms. Priester.

    Stand and Deliver was inspirational. Who says kids can't do math?

    My favorite teacher movie is Freedom Writers. This movie reminds me of my favorite English teacher Ms. Priester.

    This week? In class we are working with "A Class Divided." The impact a teacher's words can have on self efficacy and performance is incredible!

    Name that quote, "Bueller, Bueller,"...that's an old school "teacher-scene" fav., because I have def felt like that! ...on a fairly-current, inspiring note: I really like "Coach Carter" because he sets high expectations and you see the kids first resist...then rise. Reminder to not give up on people easily.

    Stand and Deliver. This movie resonates with me because of the work he did for the students. Also, the reaction of the establishment (White) was amazing. If this was a school in Holiwood, it will be all over Television and newspaper. However, because these kids were from the barrios and Latinos, the reaction was not very cordial. They were branded as cheats. The story had a good ending.

    I agree with Jade...Planet Earth. I use it with Science units and as background pictures, without sound, as the kids are working in groups

    A great teacher movie is "The Miracle Worker" with Anne Bancroft as Annie Sullivan and Patty Duke as Helen Keller.

    This requires much patience and constant practice. Old people like me require lots of both

    My current favorite teacher movie is Grid Iron Gang. This movie is more about the football team, but the coach is really attached to his players and he deeply cares for them. Their relationship with each other was strong and grew as the season went on.

    The Great Debaters is one of my favorite teacher movies because it revealed how segregation was devastating to both whites and blacks during the period of the Jim Crow Laws in the South.
