this is so beautiful in many ways but im going to try to capture a few:
- GREAT TEACHER: You're an amazing teacher. In that moment where you identified the favorite fruit (carrot) of your student that’s such a unique ingredient in teaching. Being able to SEE your student. Such an under-appreciated element of a great teacher. Helping the student be involved in the process of learning.
- TEACHABLE MOMENT: The part where you talk about how mistakes are part of the process. Kids listening to that would form a new and healthy belief system around the idea of mistakes instead of the one the world tries to throw at them.
- INSPIRING: Letting the kids or anyone else watching that the magic you had just done on the screen is also achievable by anyone willing to try. You suggested a good way to try is: use a crayon. Which is a very low barrier of entry for annyone looking to get started. And so with that crayon, what you're signaling is you understand your target audience (primarily, kids. And secondarily, adults/parents).
But this, all in all, this is a master at work. Well done TEMI. 🔥🔥
Wow you broke it down so eloquently! I appreciate the thoroughness. Glad you enjoyed it!
I was a high school teacher for 3 years. Went back to teach at my old high school cause I wanted kids to know it’s possible to have a career in creativity or finding a way to use creativity as an outlet. One of the most rewarding times in my life
I want the poster!
Right!! I love Temi’s posters!! Founding members of his Substack get a poster in the mail 👀 Can’t wait for mine to arrive!!!

Joziah is blessed to have you.
