Which Dog Matches Your Teaching Style?

The Rescued Hero

The rescued hero

The world’s most magical dogs live some portion of their lives in a shelter. Perhaps they had a rough start in life. Now, these pups are more than willing to let a stranger give them a second chance. The truth is, the families who love these creatures couldn’t care less about their best friend’s lineage or their status on the American Kennel Club registry. For the mixed breed, it’s all about love, fun, and dedication. And those three pillars represent your teaching style to the letter.

You show your kids love and dedication every day. It’s time you learn how to do that for yourself, which is why we recommend Course 5116: Connection and Calming Strategies for Today’s Teachers.

The Lifelong Friend

You might be a lab or a golden, or any dog who provides its people with joyful companionship. Yes, this type of dog is an archetype of a friendly family member who loves just about anyone willing to spare a belly rub. Perhaps you continue teaching because you love what you do and take pride in being an advocate for young people who need support.

The Organization Aficionado

The organization aficionado

When we talk about the types of dogs out there, organization and order are not very common descriptors. But here’s the thing: Dogs pride themselves on creating an environment. It’s true that sometimes that ecosystem might be a wee bit chaotic. But not for the Organization Aficionado, a classification reflected in yorkies, poodles, min-pins, and various mixes. As a teacher, you rely on your methodical nature to ensure every kid grasps crucial concepts.

The Determined Do-Gooder

The determined do gooder

Some dogs are superheroes. Just like teachers. The Determined Do-Gooder has a sense of responsibility that they take very seriously. Whether it’s having fun while learning or preparing for state testing, the focus remains on creating a classroom that serves as the origin spot for a better world. Large, muscle-bound dogs often fit into this category, but don’t let the physique fool you. These pups are cream puffs who want nothing more than a dog biscuit and a scratch behind the ear.

You show your kids love and dedication every day. It’s time you learn how to do that for yourself, which is why we recommend Course 5124: Goodbye Teacher Burnout, Welcome Teacher Wellness.

The Fearless Adventurer

The fearless adventurer

Learning is an adventure. Your classroom reflects that truth. And that’s why your teaching style matches with the Fearless Adventurer dog archetype. Often beagles, basset hounds, or some mix thereof, these furry balls of energy love to explore and discover, and while you may not sniff every blade of grass you see, you do have that sense of wonder and curiosity that drives your teaching strategies.

You show your kids love and dedication every day. It’s time you learn how to do that for yourself, which is why we recommend Course 5271: Reclaiming Your Passion for Teaching with Balance and Bandwidth.
