[00:-1.00]The four A's-attitude,academic skills,awareness, [00:-2.00]and accomplishment-a recipe for a successful school life. [00:-3.00]He that knows nothing,doubts nothing. [00:-4.00]SECTION 1 NEW WORDS AND IDEAS [00:-5.00]News Article Teacher C.Robert Smith Wins National Teacher Award [00:-6.00]NATIONAL NEWS [00:-7.00]What does it take to win the hearts and minds [00:-8.00]of Grade 10 students in today's world of education? [00:-9.00]Ask Jenny Fitchette,Grade 10 student at Lester Pearson High School, [00:10.00]and you get an enthusiastic response,"A good teacher is the number one ingredient. [00:11.00]No matter how fancy the school is, [00:12.00]or how many computers there are,without a good teacher, [00:13.00]learning is difficult and not at all interesting."Jenny should know. [00:14.00]She is at the head of her class, [00:15.00]a class for gifted students runing on a"four subjects per semester"format. [00:16.00]It's not so much the subjects that keep her coming to school each day, [00:17.00]eager and ready to work and to learn. [00:18.00]Look at her timetable and you find that she takes the ordinary subjects of mathematics, [00:19.00]English,biology and art this semester. [00:20.00]No,it's her biology teacher,Mr.Smith who keeps her coming back. [00:21.00]Although the classes are long,and the material difficult, [00:22.00]Jenny still found time to submit a 1000-word essay [00:23.00]in which she nominated her teacher, [00:24.00]Mr.Bob Smith,for the Teacher of the Year Award. [00:25.00]This award is given annually to a teacher who shows excellence in teaching. [00:26.00]Only students may nominate someone for the award. [00:27.00]If the nominating essay is good,the committee visits the school, [00:28.00]and spends a day watching the teacher in action. [00:29.00]"I can't really put my finger on why Mr.Smith is such a good teacher,"says Jenny, [00:30.00]sitting in the bright and open classroom [00:31.00]that she shares with 20 other gifted learners. [00:32.00]"I know that the classroom itself is nice place to be in. [00:33.00]I mean,the tropical fish really help us in our biology studies. [00:34.00]We can actually watch fish growing and study them right there in the classroom. [00:35.00]Same thing with the small garden we keep in the summer. [00:36.00]It's hands-on.Mr.Smith always tells us that we learn best [00:37.00]when we get in there and work with things." [00:38.00]Teacher,Bob Smith says he was surprised [00:39.00]and honoured when he heard that Jenny had nominated him for the award. [00:40.00]"It's really the students who should be getting the award,"he says. [00:41.00]"It's my job to bing meaningful and interesting things for them to study, [00:42.00]and then to 'get out of the way' so to speak. [00:43.00]It's the students who are showing excellence,not me." [00:44.00]When asked to explain what it is that he does to make his students [00:45.00]so enthusiastic about school, [00:46.00]he pauses and thinks deeply."I think it comes down to respect. [00:47.00]The kids know that I respect them and that I see my job as serving them in a way. [00:48.00]I work for them to help them open up their minds [00:49.00]and to discover things that matter to them." [00:50.00]Jenny says that you never know what to expect from day to in her biology class. [00:51.00]One day,Mr.Smith might bring his electric guitar,and for the entire class, [00:52.00]explain and demonstrate the effects of music on plant growth. [00:53.00]He never allows anyone any time to be lazy. [00:54.00]"It's the variety for sure,that's part of it,"explains Jenny. [00:55.00]"But mostly it's because we know that Mr.Smith truly cares about us [00:56.00]and about teaching us.You just feel it. [00:57.00]He tells us every day that we are the most school life." [00:58.00]"And you know what?I know he means it."
