Why do we buy the brands we love? Why do we think Velveeta Shells and Cheese is so much better than its generic counterparts? Is there something about the way that box looks that makes me want to buy it over the crappy brand?
Advertising. I have no doubt in my mind that the reason people buy what they do is because of good advertising. What if you had to advertise your classroom?
What if your class were a movie? Would anyone want to watch it?
Sometimes I find myself staring in the mirror in the morning at my Adonis-like body and wonder: Are you a good teacher? Do kids want to be in your class? Do you want to be in your class?
How can I sell myself?
I've decided to stop bombarding this blog with hypothetics and get to the point. Let's advertise. I am going to sell my classroom ... in the format of what the back of a movie case would look like. The movie about my classroom.
Learn and Earn or Crash and Burn
Brandon St. Clair "captivates, motivates and agglomerates" (Time Magazine) in this fast curriculum based educational thrill ride filled with knowledge and excitement around every lesson!
Mr. St. Clair [Brandon St. Clair] plays a sixth grade math teacher with an insatiable hunger to inspire students to learn.
If he can get the kids to believe that what he teaches is what they want to learn, then they are going to want to learn it. If he just joins the ranks of mediocrity like so many teachers before him, he may not be as effective.
This year, Mr. St. Clair has some changes to make. With the help of a rascally troupe [Krause, McCarthy and Klimek] this year in Math6 is sure to be a hit!
