What a smart man who understands the minds of young people. We need thousands more like him.
Way to think outside the box and not be afraid to be human with your students. May this new journey that you all are on be something that will continue to positively impact you all for years to come.
Indeed we do!!
No he thinks that’s all black people do is dance it’s embarrassing
@@msrenee7023 get off my thread. You are sick
@@msrenee7023 It can be thought of as such but how about this instead. At this stage in their lives (young students)this is one of the things they have interest in. He is embracing dance and using it to benefit the students and its working. They are eager to do what needs to be done ( classwork) with excitement. If he were teaching a class full of older folks I would totally agree with what you are saying.
Every student deserves at least one teacher like Dr. Boffone in their educational career! Bravo to those teachers that go beyond a lesson plan!
Bless that Teacher, I hope he has many years ahead of him, in this hard profession!!!
Exactly!
This brought tears to my eyes that he cared so much for his students.
Mine was Mr. Freed...5th grade science teacher. I'm 60 now, but I'll never forget him and how he made his class so enjoyable.
I still think of gangstas paradise to this day & idkw. Prob bc this lady at church looks like the teacher & im still dorky enough to say Coolio. Or that some movies today still have a we actually can co exist w/ each other. But somexs that really is just a more black & white thing. But it must be hard to teach older kids. Especially ppl w/ different backgrounds. My kids mixed but still has white ppl jokes. her white teachers laugh w/ her. I admire their determination tho. And I still think teachers should get paid more than athletes. I liked my history teacher. :/ he was a coach. His wife did cheerleading. Poor dude had all the patience to put up w/ my somewhat defiant somewhat disruptive self
If every teacher was so in tune, we'd have a much better planet of humans ♥️
Let's pay them to do so. Also a teacher can only work with the children as they are. Parents are sometimes demanding more responsibility from the school system than they take themselves.
in tune to what? How to dance? Do these children know how to read, write, spell, do math, and do forth? Who is kidding who?
@@Dr.Sharron Not sure what you mean about the kidding part, but no. I'm speaking about the fact that he's in tune with what his students are interested in, so he's embracing that and encouraging them instead of halting their creativity with negative energy
... like you seem to want to. That's what I was saying.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Amen!
As a former teacher, I 💜💕❤️ him! This is how you relate to students.
I used to take my students with my family on family Sundays. My class had a lot of low income students who I had the honor to introduce to things they never experienced.
Bless the teachers who truly care for their students
💜💕❤️🙏🌈💜💕❤️🙏🌈
So uplifting!! A great motivator and teacher. I'm 75. To this day I love History because of 7th grade teacher Mr Baily. He'd dress in period clothes, play era music, acted out the lesson. Way to motivate these students. Love it!! 🙏🙏❣
I had a microbiology teacher that was great.
He'd dress up before class as a different virus or bacteria. For the "plague", he dressed up like the Grim Reaper.
He always taught an interesting class and I learned a lot from him.
Sadly, as I graduated from his class and moved on to other classes...I never got a chance to tell him about the positive impact he had on me.
@@danni1993 Loved to hear about your learning experience. He sounds like such a great teacher!! Creative, entertaining, and innovative. That's how the young learn best!! Thank you for sharing!!!👍🤗
I love that teacher
My 12th grade history teacher didn't dress up himself, but helped us dress up and put on little acts for our assignments which made me live history even more. That made me decide to get a BA in Secondary Social Studies Ed. I decided later I'm better at working with the younger kids, but I still use that knowledge when subbing in a class with a history lesson that day. I love being able to add in a little extra fun fact that's not in their book since I had such great professors in college as well. I also let kids act out stories as I'm reading them to the class. It's a lot of fun for them and me 😃
@@marys2035 Hi Mary, I love this educational experience you had. The teachers who are innovative, creative, and who truly love educating students are always the most admired and most effective. I come from long line of teachers. When my 97 year old grandmother passed, many of her students, some in their 70s, attended her funeral describing how positively she impacted their lives. At my mom's funeral, a 60+ year old came in and all he said was "in 7 years the school system couldn't teach me to read. Your Mom had me reading in 6 weeks. Because of her I became a successful businessman." Good teachers are so impactful!! Love your positive story!!!🙏❣
What precious kids. Way to show interest, Teach. They’ll never forget.
You are exactly the kind of teacher kids need these days! You connect with them!!
I did this with a then 3rd grade student in Southern CA. He had ADHD and learning disabilities and I was making up missed days by subbing for the resource teacher when I was "off-track." I couldn't get the boy to complete assignments. I learned he liked rap and told him he could rap for the small group if he finished work. It worked! He became so compliant and happy to see me. *He sang me the most beautiful and sweet rap song about ME before my assignment was over,* ❤😭 I asked him to write it down but he hated writing and never got to it. I'd kill to have that song. It was very moving and touching. I hope that kid made something of his life. 🙏
You are wonderful, I teared up reading your comment. I hope great things come your way.
@@Livalorie thank you. But glory to God because He alone called me to teach and then equipped me to do it. 🙌
Karen Maybe he was one of the 3 rappers killed together a few weeks ago?
I am inspired as a parent.God bless this teacher and all his students!!
The teachers diva faces, had me dead..
Great connection with your students..
Love this!!
Me too!!
As a dance teacher it's great to see another teacher begin to understand the connections that the processes of learning from your students and dancing together in general brings, not only to the those dancing but to the other students in the class as well. That connection, discipline and self awareness filters to their other classes and outside life in immense ways. Well done sir! ❤
Well said!!
Truly said.
💯💯👍🏻👍🏻
This is what is missing in schools, but a lot of teachers are not allowed to engage with their students. Bring back the creativity to teachers and students. This is amazing.❤
You think what's missing in schools right now is people making stupid tiktok dance videos? You think that's something our education system needs MORE of? Get outta here.
@@sixupsprite5501 He is engaging thru dance, and you have to relate to young people, and that's exactly what he is doing.
@@sixupsprite5501 Yeah, it's much more effective to have a police officer hanging out with his baton in the classroom 🙄 that really motivates the children 😒
@@sixupsprite5501 Connection is missing. Keep up with the convo. Daycare orphans don’t understand this NEED well.
They are not suppose to be their friend they are their teachers. We need them to teach our youth not make stupid videos. Welcome to the real world kids, not everyone is your friend and sometimes things are hard. Oh well
I love ALL of this! Level up: kids have to teach you the dances in Spanish.
This world needs a lot more teachers like him. Love what ya all are doing
I love how this teacher has a good relationship with his students. Plus he's willing to learn from them as well. Awesome 👍
He’s not there to be their friend and dance and fool around. He’s there to be an authority figure who makes sure these kids get their work done. He’s there so young people will respect their elders and respect authority so when they enter the real world they know how to navigate. This teacher is a weakling. But I get it, it’s 2023 so we act like adult leadership is bad , while adults acting like children is good. Clown world.
He's a teacher FFS. His job is to teach, not be their buddy. This kind of stupidity is why there are schools in which no one in the entire school can read or do math proficiently.
@@jjones9822 Only one clown here, and that's you.
@@jasonburris334 Tell me you don't know anything about teaching or learning, without telling me .... OH, you just did.
@@jjones9822 You're a joke, this guy is great, motivates his students and bonds with them, celebrating their culture has helped them and enriched his own life. I bet you his students speak Spanish a lot better than you write English.
This will stick with them forever. I'm 32 and I remember in 3rd grade our teacher taught us math and the continents of the world through songs and its stuck with me even to this day! Anything to help us learn and remember is golden !
Try that today & you'll get written up...
What an inspiring teacher…❤️❤️
I agree so uplifting, love the connection between teacher, and students, we need more teacher who are creative in there lessons ❤️
Yesss we do ❤
Touched my heart in a beautiful way. My eyes welled. We need more teachers like this. 🙏🏾❤
indeed, We do.
If there were more Teachers like him our school would be better and our kids would be well educated and really to be productive in society. Awesome job Dr. Trevor!!!!
This kind of stupidity is exactly why minority kids are so often failing in every aspect of education. There are entire schools in the hood where not one student in the whole school can read at grade level or do math proficiently. Every moment learning dance moves is time wasted having fun instead of learning. This is moronic.
No they wd not. This I an elective. If assessed properly, can the students actually speak Spanish? Content area classes don't have the luxury of dancing thru reading, science, & math equations.
@@d.h.dd.h.d.5230 that doesn’t mean he’s not a good teacher. Much like myself, that’s your opinion. And you have no idea how well the students in his class are doing.
@@jasonburris334 how do you know they’re not learning these dances before or after class. Don’t be so judgmental unless you have all the facts to support your theory…..which is simply an educated guess. That’s your opinion!
Engaging, Supporting, Motivating, Learning and having fun brings students to class 🌟💯🌟💯🌟💯🌟💯🌟💯
Reminds me of my history teacher at Cullen Jr High in Houston. Mr. Robert Laney took us Kids to see the movie Patton. I will never forget his interest in his students. I'm 68 now. Shout out to Mr Laney.
I had a teacher freshman year that was so cool. He was young and hip and made us all eager to get to his class even though it was only an English class. I always remember him with fondness, Mr. Mayo...he had IT!
This is brilliant, because dancing is contagious, and and puts you in the right mindset for learning.
Nice job Dr. ... Kids obviously look forward to your class... Keep it up
❤ love stories like these. Another teacher that cares about his students.
He’s fab. He’s finding a way to bring everyone together and engage his students from a mutual platform without dominance. He is teaching unity, and harmony- just what the world needs ! Well done that man ! 🙏🏽🕊❤️
There is always that one teacher people remember. The one that took the time to engage and make things interesting. Bravo to this teacher and great for the students in his classes.
What an awesome teacher
What an awesome way to connect with your students ! Go Mr (Dr) B!
My goodness what an amazing individual this man is. Those kids are very fortunate to have a teacher like him.
Having personally experienced a couple teachers who had no fear in the classroom (dressing up in costumes, allowing us to choose the location of a class trip if we all passed a test with scores above 94, etc), I absolutely applaud this man and the fact that he obviously genuinely cares about his students and their success/happiness! Great example to other teachers that being vulnerable makes you more relatable.
And he's actually not a bad dancer.
@@darkpassenger65 he's great, thanks to his students and I imagine it is a 2 way street!😁
all around excellent giving the children a safe environment to party, stress relief, and much needed physical activity to fight the obesity pandemic
Absolutely love it great teacher and great students.
Of course he's a great teacher but it was the students who invited him. They're all amazing! ❤️
Now that's the kind of teacher you come back and visit after you're grown with kids of your own!❤
I had a teacher like this but he gave us free time at the end of class for questions about anything. My grown daughter had the same teacher. Surprise he is the head math teacher. I thanked him because of him I passed that class with the highest grade I ever had in math. Actually his class was my favourite. We as students knew he loved religion and would almost always asked him about it.
He cracks me up with his facial expressions and tongue sticking out moves, lol. Love him! Love the kids!!
The teacher is the builder of children future or the destroyers of children future than parents I saw in my children life in Washington state schools system. This teacher is bravo this will be one of his legacy🙏❣️
He probably knows many more dance steps now than he knew before. Dance is was so important in high school! Miss those days (and the energy level of youth).
What a smart teacher, student engagement is key. We need to be able to reach them on their level, not ours. I use to reach mine with food, incentives, affirmations/praise etc. End result, I had one of the highest scoring classrooms in the school. In my other school I was second highest, scoring. Keep up the good work Dr. Trevor and thanks for all that you do for our kids.
Thankful for Teachers like you!!
Do they can remain children forever. They need to prepare for the world.
Great young students. Great teacher!!
I wish I could have had a teacher like you! What an awesome teacher! And, your students are the best, too! I bet they’re grades a better and because of you, they will be such better human being and hopefully they will continue having fun throughout their life with their kids by making it fun! Thank you for making changes even if it’s a little bit at a time!
I love it! Teachers getting involved with what the students have going on! 💯
That's what we need a teacher that connects in a positive way with the students.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Heck yes!!
This teacher is the bomb!!
Very smart teacher! Well done for finding a way to get the kids to learn and to connect with them! 😉
We need teachers like this everywhere in the world. U know, changing the world his own way. The kids can trust him. I wish I met a teacher like this when I was in school. It would be a blessing bcoz I was an invisible depressed child alone in this world. I hope he continues spreading love and happiness to those kids
SEE that SMILE on those Kids; Dancing and doing Something Together and with Purpose.
I am so happy we have such a cool teacher here in Houston😁🍎🍏📒great job buen travajo
If these teachers were like this in my day, I would of graduated on time. Great teachers are around now and figured out how to motivate their students to do their work and in a timely fashion. Genius!
That sounds like your problem. At the end of the day, you are responsible for you.
There's nothing genius about focusing on fun over learning. Every moment spent practicing dance moves is time wasted. "Oppressed minority" students in many schools now are so illiterate and intellectually inept there isn't one student in the entire school that reads at grade level or can do basic math proficiently. Teachers aren't the kids' friends, they're there to impart as much knowledge as possible in the shortest amount of time possible, that is their purpose. Not to have fun and joke around and dance around and be the kids' homie. Everything about this is dumb af!
That’s beautiful for a teacher to have a connection with his students like that. Smart move! Those kids will never forget him!😊
grinning from ear to ear with happy happy joy joy.....this is so awesome. dance on people and learn....cool
I have the ugliest smile on my face lol. This took wholesome to the next level
Lol
He's going to be that teacher that will live on with their memories. He's amazing!! We need more teachers like him. Bet they appreciate him so much for actually listening to them and let them be young but also learning
Fantastic teacher 🎉and great kids for welcoming him to dance with them 🎉
He is even giving "dance faces." I love it.
If he'd have been my teacher I'd have stayed in school . Ya'all are amazing 👏 💖 keep learning in both ways ... educational and choreography/ dancing. You all have an amazing opportunity please run with it .
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not much education is taking place.
I hope you finish/finished your degree at some point!
@@n2organic I surely did !
What an awesome teacher 🙂
They "DANCE WITH CLASS". I Love this teacher. 💜🙂💜
💕👍Thank you to ALL my Teachers & Professor's Great Instructor's Great Education. Thanking ALL Teachers.
Awesome ,you go guys......be so thankful that you guys have this incredible teacher in your lives......teachers often make huge impact our lives ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this guy. We need more teachers, and people, like him.
I hope they know how blessed they are to have a good caring teacher,I don’t know how that feels
WOW! Engaging with your students and making learning FUN is how ALL students should be learning. This Teacher is such a great example of how learning can be fun. Children should have as much fun in their lives while they are children because becoming an Adult means having great responsibility everyday and that is not always fun.
What a darling man! Such a good humored smart teacher! How lucky are the kids in class? HUGE LUCKY!
Bravo, Doc, and Bravo, Kids! 💃🏿🕺🏼🎶👏👏👏❤️
I love that ! Personas felices ,niños felices , humanos en gozo.
Teacher Teaching, and being taught. Beautiful.
When these students are grown, they will tell their own children about this teacher.
Lessons in school, and Lessons in life, taught inside this classroom.
I love it. God Bless them all.
This is what a REAL TEACHER looks like❤. Thank u for loving your kids! They need us to support the things they live that make them happy.😄
The Coolest Teacher 😎💯💎
so inspiring and motivational for these young people
“THEY WON’T CARE what you know, until THEY KNOW that YOU CARE.” Good job, sir, respect. 👊🏽🙏🏽
Amen and amen…👆🏼
If your heart ain’t right, no matter what is in your ‘head’.
So let the Blk children dance. They don't need to know anything anyway. Our children will always outperform them academically and be on top. This video is humiliating to Blk children. How many of those people in the video can even read?
Ponding brings love. Love brings understanding and we all learn. God bless you all 🙏🕊️🌎
Bonding 😅
Wow this is so awesome!!! So love this teacher/student bond!!! I didn't want the interview to end. To hear the student say she wants to learn because of him is outstanding!!! He's so amazing for taking the time to reach out to his students in such a way they could connect and relate, build trust and bond. If only there were more teachers willing to do the same. 🙏❤💯
Beautifully said! 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I appreciate the connection he makes with his students to improve their life skills, and enjoy school, through dance. 💃
You are making a difference. You are a true definition of “teacher
These kids are amazing,talent,beauty,maturity to the upmth degree!their teacher is truly amazing to be apart of it all
This really warms my heart. Your students seem very happy. We need more of this in our schools. You have a gift Dr. Kudos to you and your students. You are making learning worthwhile and you are appreciated.
Let your creativity shine!
He Understand That It's More Than Dance It's Bonding... Through Dance They Support Each Other
Teach them to reach and understand their audience. They will take this to college!/workspace/life. Bravo to this awesome Educator.
❤️ it. These will be great memories
I'm so proud to be a teacher. He is so inspiring! Well done!
Dr. Boffone rocks! Great teachers are remembered throughout your life with fond memories.
Incredible! This is SO awesome. GOD BLESS YOU for doing this amazing job! May SO MANY MORE follow this lead. Amen!
I like the fact that the kids are so respectful and he has their full attention wow a great way to learn
Mutual respect 🙂 never looked so good!
Man i wish i had a teacher like that when i was in school
Teacher connecting with his students. Lovely! 🥰
I love how everyone just beams when they are talking about this! Great kids, great teacher, great moves! WELL DONE!
i really hope that he's still doing his thing and helping these students out. We need more of this...
Absolutely LOVE!!!! The utmost respect is given to teachers who connect as humans, not just through educational roles. When the learning goes beyond ciriculum, and reaches a soulful level. THIS is what these kids will carry with them on a deeper level. Hopefully they'll try to recall\ describe these encounters while speaking Spanish 😉 but either way, I believe this kind of connection is what most Educators hope for.
Absolutely wonderful, The Joy on the faces of the students and the teacher say it all!
Best teacher ever!!! God bless him and his family!! 🙏🏽🔥♥️
This is so great! I’m a special ed high school teacher and I did similar teaching actions like this incredible teacher. I remember dancing“the Macarena” in the hallway, during classes with my students lined up and sometimes students would walk by us and were envious of my kids! So I was asked by those students to come in the cafeteria and we started dancing sometimes. It helps with a sense of belonging, at least for my students. Thank you so much sir for being a great great teacher for your kids!!!
Stumbled on this and it is my High School C/O 87!!!
Wonderful teacher. You are the kind of teacher all our kids need.
teaching is a gift, no a vocation. he is proof of this!!! BEcause he CARED and wanted to CONNECT with his student, magic happened!!!!
They need more teachers like him in the classrooms..this beautiful to see.
That's an elective class. If a content area teacher didn't this, he or she wd be brought bef the district.
We need teachers that actually teach our youth not play with them.
It's a Spanish Class? No it's an exercise in Gym! Omg They're dancing!!!!
Awesome teacher! These students are so very fortunate. We need many, many, many more like him!
So phenomenal
