The issue of a lack in professional attitude and respect for the average teacher today has become a source of anxiety and discontent in teachers. There must be a voice for the teacher to stand up and fight against the cliché attitude many have of the profession. The best place to begin this dialogue and start advocating for teachers in in a virtual environment.

- 14. The Future of Education The Impact of a social movement must be done in stages. It needs the support and time of the creator and consumer as a joint venture if it is to be successful. The social advocacy for a teacher’s voice to be heard can be misunderstood. The issue is not about the idea that all teachers are perfect. There are bad teachers, just as there are bad doctors, professors, lawyers, politicians, salespersons, and the list can go on. The advocacy is simply revolving around how we as a society look at educators. When one bad educator is seen as the commonality between all educators, it leads to a lack of respect and need for reform. Contents

Notas del editor
- The virtual world as a portable community with all the ease of access, convenience, and anonymity (Chayko, 2008) expected by teachers is the perfect place to let the movement begin. Change will happen; it happens in education everyday. It is just a matter of letting the issues be known, and the frustrations be voiced. This is what Teacher Trending is all about.
- With wall posting, this is a great starting point to introduce the movement and the issue through Active Audience Theory by doing away with an audience or text (Giles, 2010) and allowing the audience to take part in understanding the movement through comments, likes, and messaging or reposting on their own wall.
- With links to Teacher Trending on Twitter, audiences are able to shift their own understanding from informal active audience to a text-based audience with news and features from around the education world. This is an outlet for both old and young audience since the Internet has changed the landscape of news “flitting between different media with less loyalty” (Giles, 2010, p. 22). This lack of focus allows one to go from a personal community to a news source with compiled stories available through someone else’s work and not their own. The stories have been weeded out from the mass influx of news available on the Internet to only the most pertinent stories available.
- Teacher Trending has with it a humanization effect of personalizing a profession. This is the key strength of the social movement. It allows for a prescribed revelation based upon the emotional pull or display of the author and audience (Giles, 2010). This emotional pull allows the audience to verify their own identity (Burke & Stets, 2009) as a consumer of information regarding education and teaching as a profession. Much of this is done through the concept of voyeurism (Giles, 2010) utilizing participant reaction without the need to participate themselves in the collective discussion of education and teacher trends.
- As strength for a movement, this allows the audience to take part through the guise of anonymity without having to rely on social cues or physical interaction, which could be seen as negative (Baym, 2010). Although the process of participant voyeurism humanizes the social movement for myself, it does little to keep engagement on the part of the consumer or audience. This is where personalization and propagation (Smith & Wollan, 2011) can come in to play with the movement. By personalizing the process of information sharing to a targeted group or groups, the propagation of this targeted audience could stream throughout all social networking for Teacher Trending. This means that if the specific target is to be the community of parents and students, social networking needs to be personalized to this specific group.
- Facebook allows commenting, but it is often up to the Facebook profile to check for trolling as a method of flaming (Joinson, 2007; Giles, 2010). The newspaper constricts comments and opinions to well-written well-approached pieces that evoke though and debate without the need to censor for insults. This is a great method for taking a more traditional community forum and incites interest among the community to get involved with their own messages and opinions.
- If I am first able to personalize social media, using the strategies of access, engagement, and appeal (Smith & Wollan, 2011) keeps the consumer or audience in mind throughout the process. One issue with a social movement is the passion an author may feel can hinder the relationship with the audience by taking away audience power. If I can utilize those social consumers who can aid in recruiting and passing information along, it would make it easier to engage the advocates (Smith & Wollan, 2011). A social movement is much like a business. If there is no buy-in from the consumer, there is no movement – only the rant of the author. This relationship is the most important humanization effect of social media. It needs to spread.
- If there is a lack of respect for the teaching profession, education cannot work the way it needs to. Too many times in American culture, teachers are vilified or seen as less than perfect, which translates to fault on the part of the American teacher for the downfall in education. Educational reform has become a process of fixing the gap in American student knowledge, and the competitive global marketplace. The problem, however, is in reform; teachers become the scapegoats for fixing the issues in education. The United Stated Department of Education recently released a program with the acronym R.E.S.P.E.C.T. This acronym stands for Recognizing Educational Success, Professional Excellence and Collaborative Teaching (Duncun, 2012). The aim of this new program develops the teaching profession as a place where individuals wish to stay. It does not focus on testing, curriculum, or the treatment of teachers as professionals, but rather the focus is on teaching methodology and ineffective teaching practice (Johnson, 2012). The focus of the current administration dives into making good teachers stay, and bad teachers go. This will not work.
- How one sees their role as teacher impacts they way they see him or herself as a person. If their role constantly lack verification (Burke & Stets, 2009) it is difficult to remain in the profession or see the profession as worthy. Being part of both the role identity of teacher and social identity as school this could lead to lack of verification in two different identity strands. Much of this comes down to how a teacher is viewed. A prime example of this lack in verification is reform in the evaluation process of teachers. One such reform in Denver, Colorado is LEAP (Leading Effective Academic Practice). This is one program being paid for through government assistance and grants from the Department of Education. Within the program, teachers are evaluated on a variety of methods including: formal observation, student perception surveys, and student data ("LEAP - Leading Effective Academic Practice," 2011).
- In the future, the more attention a movement like this could receive, the better able teachers will be to do their jobs. This movement could move from the virtual world to a creation of teachers in a community that voice and stand up against political shifts virtually. This prosocial activism (Giles, 2010) can make the changes that are need in education. It is not about throwing money at the problem, it is about viewing those involved in a different light. This brand could become an “Ask a Teacher” forum for ideas about how to help children outside of the classroom, so instead of vilifying a teacher parents and community can help a teacher to make education and our American children better prepared for the future.
