Teachers In The Movies

WELCOME to Teachers in the Movies, brought to you by Dr. Apple, the Movie Teacher. This website is dedicated to help teaching
professionals bring movies into their curriculum. For more than 20 years, I have collected and reviewed over 200 movies
dealing with teachers, schools and students and how they deal with all types of topics including bullying, cheating, dropouts and
so much more. The purpose of this website is share what I've learned from these movies about the teaching profession with
you. If you need a movie dealing with a specific problem, then I can prescribe a movie or clip to cure your educational ailments.

Education Week: State of Mind

  • Researchers at Public Agenda conducted a cluster analysis of the survey results, revealing three distinct groups of teachers. Based on their individual characteristics and attitudes about the profession, teachers naturally fell into three broad categories, which the researchers call the “Disheartened,” “Contented,” and “Idealists.”
  • The view that teaching is “so demanding, it’s a wonder that more people don’t burn out” is remarkably pervasive, particularly among the Disheartened, who are twice as likely as other teachers to agree strongly with that view. Members of that group, which accounts for 40 percent of K-12 teachers in the United States, tend to have been teaching longer and be older than the Idealists.
