Thematic Analysis: My Role Is About Their Future

747 Words3 Pages
Thematic Introduction This week’s theme is “My Role is About Their Future.” I believe that this theme is important for EC-6th grade teachers to understand because this theme encompasses what it means to be a teacher. To me, teaching is all about helping the doctors, lawyers, teachers, therapists, etcetera of the future. This theme also means that teachers need to focus on teaching the “whole child” and not just a part of a child. It means that teachers must teach their students content knowledge as well as morals. Thus, this theme is important because it is the core of what teaching is all about.
