- Hey teachers, thanks for all that you do. This is a short, inspirational video to say "thanks." Note that I didn't separate out "general education" from ELL and special education because I believe that special education teachers also teach math, science, reading, writing, life skills, etc.
TRANSCRIPT:
Right now, there’s a kindergarten teacher perusing the aisles of Target. Even though he still has two more weeks of summer break, he is already dreaming up ways to make his students feel welcome. His classroom will be a refuge. For a few kids, it will be the only place where they truly feel safe.
Because of a teacher.
There’s a language arts teacher who will take a week and give up her lunch period - those blessed 26 minutes to scarf down a meal - in order to help a student learn how to read. And although the progress is slow, he will become a reader.
Because of a teacher.
There's a math teacher who will have a room full of kids who claim that they’re “just not good at math.” By the end of the year, his kids will be geeking out over ways to solve complex problems. They’ll see that math can be creative and even fun. And they will become problem-solvers.
Because of a teacher.
There’s a science teacher who will inspire her students to chase after their questions and on one afternoon they’ll be so excited about their experiments that they won’t even notice the bell ring. And they will become scientists . . .
Because of a teacher.
There are history teachers who will inspire students to record history and a group of PE teachers who will encourage kids to get more active. There are technology teachers who will help kids send their work to the world and fine arts teachers who will help kids find their creative voice. There are foreign language teachers who will be helping kids communicate globally and CTE teachers who will help prepare kids for all kinds of jobs
And there’s this teacher librarian who will see the students as children and not data. He’s creating a makerspace while also inspiring kids to fall in love with reading. And they will become life-long learners . . .
Because of a teacher.
And right now, there's a 4th-grade teacher with a scribbled up yellow legal pad. She’s dreaming up wild new projects. And even though she jokes about not wanting to go back, she is secretly excited about meeting her new group students.
This is her 27th year and she’s still taking creative risks. To her, it’s no big deal. It’s what she does. But it’s a big deal to her students. To them, she is a hero. This year, she will make her students' world epic, like she always does.
They will remember her forever and she will change the world in ways that she cannot even fathom.
And all of this will happen . . .
Because of a teacher.
Thank you so much John for making this video! As a retired teacher and now an educational advocate for students I know there are many fabulous teachers and staff members that need to be recognized for the spark of curiosity they nurture every day in students.
I had 2 teachers this year and they were everything. They were amazing. They were so sweet and funny and would joke in class, let us eat, but they wouldn't only teach but they would talk to us. TEACH US and would inspire us and honestly they were more of a mom to me than anyone else. I will miss you guys and I hope your next group of kids sees how truly special and amazing you are because we sure as hell did. This year wouldn't be what it was without you 💜
I am a teacher and proud of it. I am glad I made a difference and you are welcome and I thank you for your recognition. Love you man.
A lot of this video describes my science teacher Miss Dale from high school, she left in 2016 and I really wanted to say thank you to her for everything considering all of the things I'm doing and interested in now is all down to her taking me outside of the classroom and helping me talk everything through. It leads to me wanting to follow in her footsteps and become a teacher myself :)
I am a south-African, my English teacher passed away on Monday morning, I only realized now what a great man he was. Next year I will take up my studies to become a teacher, to be able to continue the work he has done over the past 55 years
The video says it all . Teachers truly changes life and the world. They are indeed a good source of inspiration and I thank all the teachers for all your sacrifices and efforts .
Thankyou so much for this video, sir! Teachers can act as a support system that is lacking elsewhere in students’ lives. They can be a role model and an inspiration to go further and to dream bigger. They hold students accountable for their successes and failures and good teachers won’t let their talented students get away with not living up to their full potential.
Indeed a teacher is a true hero, they will sacrifice everything even their very own time just to teach their students. They are great listener, motivator, encourager, and a student's second parents, their goal is to prepare the student's future and with this they make a difference and build a better world.
When I was in fourth grade my P.E teacher always told us “Practice doesn’t make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.”
I had a fourth grade teacher that made us excited to learn. No matter if you were rude, she’d teach you your wrongs and you’d completely change.
I had a third grade teacher who loved us so much she got a Elf On The Shelf and made it seem as if he left notes around the class everyday. At the end of the school year she gave us each a gift in memory of her.
I have a social studies teacher that despite our class room being burned, she has stayed strong for us and before Christmas we managed to recover our classroom.
I have a math teacher who encourages us to learn math. She makes it fun and educational.
I have a English teacher who encourages us to read and proceed our dreams. She inspires us with motivational quotes.
I have a art teacher who struggles with my class but she stays strong. The other kids don’t listen but I feel her pain.
I have a science teacher that even though her classes are boring, she changes it up a bit sometimes and puts on educational videos and movies.
All the teachers I mentioned I loved and I still love to this day because they’ve been some of the best teachers.
Teachers are willing to do everything for the students. They are indeed and truly a hero for all the sacrifices and efforts they've done.
A teacher who did her/his duty towards students is such a hero.
Teacher is really hero to the student, because they put their all effort and support to student, even though some student showing of no interest to their studies. They still willing to teach them will.
I'm so touched with this video because I have visualize on my mind the different variety of teacher who are always doing their very best just to make sure that their students could learn at it's very effective way. Because of a teacher, our world is becoming more meaningful and knowledgeable.
Salute to all educators around the globe!
Thank you for creating this video. I am an administrator in a CTE high school, and I shared it with a group of teachers last year. The feedback I received was amazing. Every teacher in the room felt connected and inspired by this.
Teachers truly are the backbone of society and as aspiring teacher it motivates me to become a good and effective teacher someday.
Being a Teacher is "everything", they play a vital role in society. Teacher inspires every child or student a drive to do well and succeed in life.
It is truly said because every learning of a child starts within a home we called school by which a teacher really helps every individual patiently on molding them to be the best version of themselves and to become a somebody in the future.
Thank you for this video. This inspired me to continue my study and to become a teacher in the near future. This video made me reflect on how creative they are and how hard they work for the students. We should acknowledge and be grateful for all of the teachers' efforts.
Wow! Such an effective teacher. No matter what kind of knowledge the student has, the teacher is still willing to teach them well so that they can learn something.
I always encounter a teacher that helps student to learn. They teach because of the students. And i want to be a teacher like them. They are my inspiration. They change my world
Teacher really makes things difference. From personal interest and expanding the area of interest of the students and deciding what they really want to become in the future, because of a teacher.
Thank you for this! I am a special education elementary teacher and I love my job and my students. I hope I can show them how smart and amazing they are. I want them to know that they can do anything!
Thank you teachers! I am very grateful for every teacher I have meet with, each of them teaches me different things and those things makes me the person who I am today, good teacher generates good students.
Teachers help us to stay motivated on the task at hand. Motivation can come in many forms. I see on this video, that a teacher is fit the motivation needed to the individual student by communicating with that learner’s and learning the interests of that learners. With that, it is a greatest help provided by a teacher to student is the motivation and encouragement they did. The video flaunts that the teacher has a big part in every learners future that encourage them do their best to become a successful one someday.
I'm taking this idea for a presentation on the importance of good teachers... Thank you for this video
This is the second video I have watched from your channel. You put out great content. Thanks John Spencer.
Thank you for sharing sir We all know that teachers are much like a second parent, and you could say that they spend just as much, if not more time each day, with a child than parents do. They help mold and shape a child's personality, and often times their future.
To all teachers out there, thank you so much for the hard work. To all future teachers good luck to us, I know we can make it. ❤️
Thats what an effective teacher does. A true heroes, indeed!
This show's an effective teacher we're in we all know that the teacher are the source of our learnings, we learned because they continue to teach.
Thank you for this. This inspired me to continue my study and become a teacher in the near future. I will be a teacher "because of a teacher."
Because of a teacher, it's possible for every children/students to change the world and make it a better place
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND I AM ENJOYING THEM
Indeed a teacher is a second parents. They are willing to do everything for his or her students to learn and understand.
An effective teacher always did their best for their students.
The teacher will be the student's instrument for a bright future. We students, must appreciate, respect, and pay attention to their complaints.
They said that youth is the hope of the people but those who prepare the youth so that they always fight to win their dreams are no longer appreciated. in this simple message I want to say thank you my teacher and all the teachers for the sacrifice you have made and I am impressed by you that I will be a teacher as well.
The video shows that the teacher is a part of the most important members of our society, they give children, purpose set them up for success as citizens of our world.
I’m a new subscriber and I literally cried watching this video man. I’m 21 and taught English in Somalia for a brief time and absolutely loved it. There was no doubt in my mind this was my path in life. After telling everyone I know about my new found passion I didn’t get the reaction I expected. Teachers don’t make much money and most people my age thought it was “girly”. The opinion of other people could never ever change my mind but on some level it made me ashamed to share my dreams with people.. until I found your videos that is! Thank you for reminding me Mr. Spencer!
Do you teach ELA or English as ESL?
I am a student teacher and I am really inspired by your video.
Stories for Teachers:

These are the duties and responsibilities of being an effective teachers. Teachers can't change whole world but they can change the world of a certain person or people.
This is great. Have been combing the internet for an inspirational BTS video for this year, and this is the one!
Teacher is a great holder of a future. Indeed, teachers is a way for a brighter future.
Wow! teacher become a students instrument in which leading them towards a big dream and also make our eyes open in the reality of the world.
My teacher is making a difference. Her name is Mrs. Duge, from Moreno Junior High
There was one of my teacher that influence me. His name was Mr Nizamuddin and we usually call him as Mr Nizam.
By the way, Mr Nizam start his duty at secondary school in Kluang. He was teaching us religion lesson and was very strict. Whenever he came into the class, everyone would keep quiet and behave well. When we didn't complete our assignment, Mr Nizam would fine us until we finished them in that day😭.
Despite of the strict way he teaching, his speech was very enthusiastic and rising our moral. Mr Nizam was influencing me to be behaviour and nice to everyone. If in class he would be like a lion but in society he would be friendly more than anyone else. Thanks to him that I can be more valuable and profitable for my circle nowadays 😊😊.
Yes, without teacher we have nothing at all 🤗
Thank you so much for this video; it took me back to my high school days. Allow me to share something that happened to me when I was in high school at Apyao National High School. I remember my teacher, Ma'am/Coach Marisa aplise, and she is the type of teacher who inspires you to be the best version of yourself. She always tells us not to give up.
It showcase that teacher was simbolize as a ladder in which the way to make change towards individuals success.
Beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
This is great! It shows how teaching personnel change others life
U are really inspiring....thank you so much
This is great! Thank you.
This is a lovely video. I am doing a presentation to show gratitude towards my teachers. This is a great video but I am a fifth-grader. I was wondering if you have a video which has a fifth-grade teacher. That would be perfect if you had it!
Hi John, I just stumbled across your blog and I absolutely love your videos!! I am a high school teacher and instructional coach and I am about to start my own blog. I was wondering if you use a certain site/program to make your videos or you have them made. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
This is beautiful
The teacher will help the student to gain more knowledge and they do their best to make the students learn more.
Thanks!
Don't forget the special education teachers! There is a special education teacher who will teach their students invaluable life skills, and these students will reach their full potential...because of a teacher.
Absolutely. This was one of the things I wrestled with. Whether to mention special ed, ELL, and gifted. However, I also believe that each of those types of teachers are reading, writing, math, etc. teachers. It was a hard decision.
Respect
Absolutely right!
Spence, you did such a good job! I love this.
Thanks, Keely! That means a lot coming from such a talented artist!
You captured this perfectly.
Thank you!
I agree with you @tracymil1 My teacher is my hero too. Amazing is an understatement for her! She wasnt just a teacher but a mother too! th-cam.com/video/rGbX8t8l7u0/w-d-xo.html
I love my teacher
Perfect!
I love your video! Gracias!
🥰So inspiring.
This a great video And it's idealistic to watch.
Good evening, Sir! I would like to request permission to use some parts of your video for our school presentation purposes. This is a masterpiece! Thank you with all gratitude!
loved!!!!!!!
Great video. You left out Special Education Teachers, of which I am one. We try to help all students. :)
My initial reason for doing this was that special education teachers also teach math, science, etc. I didn't want to make them an *other* teachers and accidentally demean them. When I team-taught with SPED teachers, they were always quick to say, "But I'm also a math teacher" or "I'm also a social studies teacher." However, I see what you're saying. This is why I also have another version of this video that includes SPED teachers: th-cam.com/video/e3V_MX3PM90/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your response! I can't wait to see it! Thank you!
Amen
Good teachers want to see their students succeed and are honored to be a mentor. Too many people think that teaching is an easy profession-because teachers make it look easy! Simply tell a teacher that you recognize how hard their job is. That’s likely enough to make them smile. Still the teacher is the way to make our dreams achieve, the teacher is my HERO.

🥺🥺🥺 it's a not big deal for her but it is for them; students! As a teacher this is what I feel ..I feel like am doing nothing but I get surprised of how every detail is impacting, improving and making a difference either for the better or for the worse... it's not easy .. it's a big responsibility that am scared of every year.. that's why am looking for a translation job 🙂💔
We would love to use this video in a presentation. Please let us know if that is okay with you. Thank you!

my foreign language teacher is teaching me greek and it's a lot of fun!
👌👌👌
Hey everyone , Iv been teaching for a month. I love this video, it’s very motivating. If any EXPERIENCED TECHER has any tips for me , that would be nice :)
The aren't many school offering computer as an option in high school at least in USA & i wanna become a computer science teacher.
Computer science is actually growing in popularity at the high school level. The computer science teachers I've known had a really easy time getting a job because there weren't a lot of people certified in it.
I want to create one such video for my trainer,will you plz help!
Nice
can i use this video for my school to inspire my teachers
Feel free to use it.
Becuase of the teacher we learn a lot of things from them.
Permission to use this video for academic purposes. Thank you.
How about a Special Education Teacher?
I centered this video on content. I similarly didn't mention reading intervention teachers. Special education teachers also teach math, science, etc. It was important to me that I didn't *other* them and ignore their role in teaching content. However, I also created another version of this where I explicitly mention special education teachers.
