I think it’s safe to say that Mrs. Maronpot almost the female version of me.The only
difference we have is that she is a science teacher and I intend to be a math
teacher. The relationship she has with her students is the same that I aim to
have with my students inside and outside of the classroom. She possesses a
trait that I believe all educators should possess no matter what grade level
they are teaching. That trait is the willingness to take constructive
criticism. Every school day there is something that an educator can improve on
or do something differently. If a colleague comes up to me saying that they
have a suggestion for me to apply in my classroom I am definitely going to
listen. Just because somebody is letting you know what you can improve on doesn’t
necessarily mean that you are doing a terrible job. Just because somebody hasn’t
said nothing to you doesn’t mean you are perfect either. I applaud Mrs.
Maronpot for accepting Dr. Royce’s help instead turning of it down as if she
were perfect. Being that Dr. Royce is a science education expert I am pretty
sure she would know what improvements can make Mrs. Maronpot a better teacher.
I actually will encourage students or even math education experts to sit in my
class and give me feedback on what I can do better.

As I watched the video, I grew to admire Mrs. Maronpot for the same thing. At the end of the clip, I remember her saying something along the words of how there will always be room for improvement and that she will continue to improve. Even though she improved a lot with the help of the science expert, she knows that she can do even more. Those are the best kinds of teachers rather than the ones who think they have it all together and they have done all that they can do.
