Why We Hate The Word Teacher with Nicki and Vicci
Ok, so hate is a strong word, but in this episode we talk about the connotations the word Teacher has in our minds, why we prefer other terms and what they are.
We talk about:
Our favourite mentors
How the term mentor is more informal and relational in nature. A mentor acts as an advisor, sharing knowledge based on their lived experience. There’s more sharing between, as mentors strive to help their mentees grow into peers.
How mentors learn alongside their students
How there is a mutual respect of each other
How this dynamic leads to shared responsibility and looking out for each other
How this dynamic is what creates the village that raises a child
Meeting the child where they are at
Quotes:
“These are the moments that shape a student. We don’t remember classrooms - we remember people and the way they made us feel. "
"Every mentor has the ability to leave a legacy with the children in your community. Authentic connection is the key.”
