I'm Tim Herrera with the Sacramento County Office of Education here with another
Teacher of the Year profile. We are speaking with Christine Teachout.
She is one of two teachers of the year for the San Juan Unified School District. Thanks for joining us.
Thank you. So, you are a 5th and 6th grade looping
teacher at Harry Dewey Fundamental Elementary. Yes. First of all, explain
what is a looping teacher? A looping teacher, I have the pleasure of working with the same
students for two years.They enter my class a 5th grader and they leave me as a
6th grader. So I am privileged to be with them for two years during that time when
life is changing pretty quickly for them. Explain the value
of looping and the impact that it has on the student. It
is so amazing for both the student and myself. We make relationships and we have
two years to not only make that relationship but to build that relationship. I have the
honor of watching them grow from a 5th grader to the end of 6th grade.
It really benefits the students because I know who they are by the end of 6th grade.
And I can work with them on those little things they still haven't quite gotten or really push them
to those things I know they can accomplish. And you also get to know the families
over the two year period. What's the value there? So amazing! I,
it is so amazing because I become part of the family. We
become a big family, the 5th and 6th grade as a classroom we are part of
a family. And for the parents, they trust me and they
have two years where they know their student is in a place where they know their student is in a place where their teacher
loves them as much as they do and is working hard to make sure they reach those goals.
So, you teach at a fundamental elementary school? I do. Explain
fundamental and what that means. I love the fundamental philosophy that we use at our school.
It's the whole idea of teaching the student as a mind, body and heart. The mind being the academic,
the body being the physical activity and nutrition.
And the heart being the character. Teaching them to be a good person when
no one is looking. The idea that your character matters as much as your academics.
And it's a really good philosophy to have.
That was going to be my next question. Besides academics, what do you have to focus on
especially for the 6th graders? Character Ed, it's so important.
Making sure they have good character. That they
are a good friend but also becoming determined.
Showing grit. Having a growth mindset, making sure that they
set goals and go to reach them. Because I am preparing these students for college and career.
They are going to go through school at the end they're not going to have a
teacher anymore and they're going to be an adult and they'll have real adult decisions to make and I feel like it starts
as early as 5th grade. And it's all part of good citizenship too? Yes it is.
So how long have you been a teacher? I have been teaching for 11 years. Okay.
So explain to me the value of professional development
especially with things changing so much in education all the time.
Professional development is at the heart. It's how we know what's happening in education.
It's how we learn about best practices. It helps us as teachers.
When I was a kid I thought that I was for sure better
and every teacher had a filing drawer and every February they'd open that drawer up and they'd take
out that folder and whatever was happening in February, the theme or the
event, that's what they taught. What I realize now is that they were learning how to be teachers.
And that's really part of being that lifelong learner that I want to instill in my students
that learning doesn't just happen in the classroom. That it truly happens outside the classroom.
And so professional development for teachers really allows us to learn
more about what's happening around and finding best practices. And you really need to keep
up on things all the time and I am not just talking about technology. Yes.
Absolutely not. Best practices changes. There might be a better way
to teach reading to kids than there was just yesterday and the more we
know the better we can do. So, what are some of the big challenges you face
in your classroom every day. In my classroom, I have students
who range from a 2nd grade reader to a 9th grade reader. And so that
is all throughout the day. It's not just in our reading program. It's how they can rad the science book.
It's how they can read the history book. It's how they can understand. So
the biggest challenge is meeting them where they are at and that's so important to me because I want to make sure I'm not wasting the time
with the kids. They need to make sure, I have them for six hours a day and I need to make sure
that I'm using their time in a way that's beneficial to them. So that's a real
juggling act for a teacher when you've got kids with a wide range of skills.
Absolutely. So what kind of planning process do you have to go
through to stay on top of that? I work diligently with my team. We have
three teachers and we work to make sure that we're hitting all the standards.
And that we are hitting all the students' needs and by using its community
of teacher, we have more brains. So there's
more ideas out there and we can work together to make sure we have the best plans for the students. So we meet
about three to four times a week during
our preparation time. What are some of the biggest challenges you think teachers
today are facing compared to when you started as a teacher?
I think the students have changed and I know as a teacher
I've grown older.Of course, time does that to you.
And so I'm further away from where my kids are and so I think one of our biggest challenges is realzing'
where our kids are and who they are and coming to their level. It's not about us
as teachers. It's really about them. Our service is teaching them.
I think our biggest challenge is making sure we are reaching the kids in front of us. whomever they are. Whatever the look like.
I think that's really important. And I think as time has gone on there's been
a lot more attention paid to the social-emotional and not just the academic. Yes, absolutely.
And so how valuable is having that kind of
training? You're not a counselor but in many ways you are.
Absolutely. I remember when I first got into teaching I had no idea how much counseling I would be
doing or how much parenting I would be doing. When I first got into teaching I wasn't a parent. I had
no idea what it meant. But now I realize it's important to be all
of those roles: the nurse, the counselor, the parent. Whatever role that kid
needs we are playing that role 100-percent of the time. In some ways
I'm not a teacher. Sometimes I need to be their friend for a moment. I need to tell them I understand, I'e been
there before and let's make a plan because that's what they need right there and so
it's constantly reaching where the kids need. So, what does it mean to to to be a teacher of the year?
Especially in such a large district? Oh my goodness! It's a complete honor.
We have, I work with so many amazing, fabulous that to be
chosen as one is just an honor. I can barely find the words
for it and it's been a couple of months. It's amazing.How did they notify you?
I was very fortunate. They contacted my school principal.
She created a school wide assembly. It was towards the end of the year so she
had sent a staff email that said we need to have
an assembly because the student behavior is awful. We need to get them all on the same
page and so I went in and telling my students "You guys are
busted. I don't know what you did but the whole school is coming out to this one! You guys are
6th grade. You will be really behaved during this. I want to see hands folded. I want to see
the whole thing." And I get out there and she calls me up to front and I think,
she's going to make me yell at the kids? Great! And then
our assistant superintendent walks up and
she starts to tell me what happened and I see my husband. And it was just
this crazy. it was all a trick. It was all a trick. (Laugh)
It was crazy. It was so amazing.
Growing up were there some teachers in your life that
kind of, did you always want to be a teacher? I knew in 3rd grade I would be a teacher. Really?
What was the moment? Mrs. Shutz, that was her name. She was
I had just changed schools. I went from a catholic to a public school.
And she was brand new that year. She had just moved to the area.
She had just adopted a son and she could sing the alphabet backwards.
And so was magic, clearly. That year
I had lot of change. My father had passed away and she was there for me.
She made it all okay. And I wanted to do that for kids.
And what about even in college? Were there some teachers there that you kind of said
that's what I want to do? Yeah, I had a really great professor at Sac State.
Lindy Valdez. She was our kinesiology teacher for teacher
and he taught us games and he taught us just being passionate.
And just what that meant. And just learning
through play and that was really profound to me.
And then I had a professor when I was in the credential program, Tim
Tom Owens, who really, he
commented on things I didn't know I really did. You know, Christine, you're really
reflective. That's a really good teacher or I love how you share personal stories with your students. That's a really good thing for a teacher.
Things that I just did automatically because
it's who I am, he kept complimenting me on those and those kind of those little treats that
I've taken with me, those little tokens and do those for my own students. So if there's omeone who's
thinking about being a teacher, what would you advise them? Oh, it's the best
job in the world. You're like a rock star. And Ididn't know I wanted to be
a rock star but I kind of am. You know, being in this grocery store or
being around school, the kids just want to love you because they know
that you love them and that's the best part of my job is loving on students and just
sharing with them how amazing they are for whatever their reason. Maybe it's because
they have a beautiful smile, Maybe because they're really smart or maybe it's ecause they have grit like nobody
else and they're going to get it. I love finding that little piece about them that makes them special.
And sharing it with them and that's the best part of our job. Well congratulations to you
it was nice talking with you. We have been speaking with Christine Teachout who is one of two
Teachers of the Year for the San Juan Unified School District. Thanks for joining us. Thank you!
