TEACH is a documentary that follows three university students in their personal quest to determine what role in education they might have in their futures. Their road trip consisted of interviewing educators in the field from California to Washington D.C. Along their journey, they all confronted negative stereotypes about teachers and entering in the field of education across the United States. I found this documentary really inspiring because most educators had very hopeful comments to say about education. This documentary reaffirmed my desire to make a difference in the world, and what a huge impact I can have on student's lives. Many teachers that were interviewed said they wake up each day excited to come to work. Many comments made by educational leaders in this video aligned with my personal philosophy of education, so I was throughly engaged throughout the whole documentary.
It was really inspiring to hear about educators who at my age did not know how or what they wanted to do, until they got into the field of education. I hope that I resemble the values such as teaching with enthusiasm, which was touched upon in TEACH. I also think it would be really interesting to travel across the country interviewing influential educators to grasp the current educational field and write some sort of report of the state of education in America.
