9 Texas Principal Competencies represented in Movie Quotes? #txidea #masters #education #principal

This is for my Master's Class portfolio at Dallas Baptist University. I have collected 9 movie quotes to help symbolize or embody some of the themes of each of the nine Texas principal competencies. Let me know your thoughts...




#1 -  The Wizard in The Wizard of Oz, “Back where I come from we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers.  And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have.  But they have one thing you haven't got, a diploma.”


#2 - Scarlett Johansson in We Bought a Zoo, “The secret to talking is listening.”


#3 - Morgan Freeman in Lean on Me, “This is an institution of learning, ladies and gentlemen. If you can’t control it, how can you teach? Discipline is not the enemy of enthusiasm!”

#4 - Geoffrey Canada of the Kipp Academy in Waiting for Superman, Instead of a national curriculum for education,
what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child.”

#5 - Richard Dreyfuss in Mr. Holland’s Opus, “A teacher has two jobs; fill young minds with knowledge, yes, but more important, give those minds a compass so that knowledge doesn’t go to waste.”

#6 - Jack Black in School of Rock, “I’m a teacher. All I need are minds for molding.”


#7 - Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness, “I’m the type of person that if you ask me a question and I don’t know the answer, I’m gonna tell you that I don’t know. But I bet you want, I know how to find the answer and I will find the answer.”


#8 - Sean Connery in Finding Forester, “Do not hire a someone who does your work for money, but someone who does it for the love of it.”

#9 - Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Minds, “I will keep my classroom safe for you to learn, there are no victims in my classroom?”
