If there's one video every teacher should see it's Molder of Dreams.The video features Guy Doud, who was selected National Teacher of the Year in 1986, speaking before an audience telling his life story and how teachers have touched his life and molded him to become the person and teacher that he is.
His parents were alchoholics. In his grade school days his classmates picked on him because he was obese. The farthest his grandfather took him for a trip was to a zoo just a couple of miles from where they live. He was picked last for kickball even if he had a mean kick. He almost quit school in Grade 6 when he met a teacher who made a great impact on him.
This best describes the message of the video which I lifted from the back of the cassette box (emphasis mine): The encouraging and discouraging messages Guy received about himself taught him that we all mold one another's dreams. We all hold each others' fragile hopes in our hands. We all touch others' hearts. Indeed, we are more than the subjects we teach, we are molders of dreams.
