Doing the Chucke

Doing the Chucke, a dance that involves smiling kids gyrating around a dancing person in a costume (tailless rat or mouse).   As Chucke calls out instructions embeded in song, kids smile while "Doing the Chucke". I think Great educators are similar in that they:

• Celebrate the attendance of learners 
• Make learners feel like a star
• Encourage learners/parents to share in fun (education process)
• Make learning fun
• Teach with enthusiasm

Learners come to school with a wish on their lips.  They wish someone would listen.  They wished someone made them feel important.   They wish the educational system will work for them.  At the end of their time with us they will redeem a winner's receipt.   They will exchange it for their idea of success.   As Great educators,  let's "Do the Chucke" well.  Our performance will determine the learners' outcome,  as well as our own.
