BASEBALL
You’re a traditionalist. You believe in the tried and true subjects and methods of teaching. You take your time with lessons and pitch engaging questions and assignments to your students, while marveling as they knock them out of the park and into A’s on their report cards. You’re the skipper of your classroom and you never step on the foul lines.

TENNIS
You are the teacher all the others want to be like. You are disciplined, focused and successful, due to the countless hours you’ve put into your craft. Often times you seem like the only one out on the court, serving your students precise lessons that help them volley back and forth in an educational exchange that leaves them ready to excel on all assessments. Your love of teaching has nothing to do with a score of zero!

BASKETBALL
Everyone knows that your classes are full of flash and spectacle. You teach fast, and build your lessons into slam dunks for students to conquer the material. You rely on your fellow teachers and the students to keep improving and moving the ball closer to the goal of helping your students become true scholars. And when you have the spotlight, no one can take it away from you, they can only stand back and learn from your dazzling teaching techniques.

SOCCER
You’re more of a worldly scholar and present your lesson plans and subjects in ways a lot of people aren’t familiar with. You have quick footwork and lead your classes through each important step of the learning process. You aren’t as flashy as other teachers, but when you score by having your students succeed, the celebrations are huge and well worth the careful work along the way. And the students who like your style really get a kick out of you.

HOCKEY

You’re humble, but fierce, and won’t stop until every student has skated to victory in their education.
