Just had an amazing interview with Dr. Anthony Metivier, a University Professor, TEDx Talk Speaker, and Best-selling Author. And here are some of the best insight I get form him: - If you want your students to read, share your excitement about books so that even the most skeptical students wanted to at least check out why you were so interested in something. - Good teaching involves a bit or marketing, it is almost as if you are “selling” the work that goes into it. - Niche down and focus on smaller units of interest. I believe educators are not just people who teach, but some form of marketers as well, we need to "sell" our ideas to our students.

I've interviewed many educators today, and this keep me thinking. Who is an educator? Does being an educator means to be someone who've gone through professional training in education? Yes? No? Not sure? My recent interview with one of the educator helped me shade some light. “Like a leader doesn’t need a title to lead, neither does an educator need a title to make a positive impact on people.” I just love the definition of an educator. An educator don't need a title An educator don't need a position An educator is a person that make positive impact to people.
