Recommended Movies About Teacher
We are teacher candidates and we love movies. Are you a teacher or a teacher candidate? If your answer is a "yes", then you should watch these out.
1. Dead Poets Society
Dead Poets Society is probably the most famous teacher movie of all time. An English teacher's dream, it is full of metaphors, inspiring quotes and literary allusions. It is for this reason that I showed this film every year to at least one of my English classes.
Robin Williams stars as a rebellious teacher, Professor Keating, who goes back to his Alma Mater to shake things up. On his first day, he has the boys tear up the syllabus, and does his own thing from that day forward. The script is brilliantly written, with an exceptional cast, and powerful directing. The lighting, the camera work all blend towards a masterful piece of art.
I love this movie: it grabs at your heart and never lets go. It has its flaws (a teacher that pushes and pushes beyond what reasonably be considered appropriate) but it's still a beautiful package, and wonderfully inspiring.
2. Stand and Deliver
I showed the movie, Freedom Writers , to my alternative English class, and they absolutely loved it! They related to the students, and fell in love with the teacher, Erin Gruwell, played by Hilary Swank.
Gruwell, a high achiever who has never failed at anything in her life, goes to the inner city of Los Angeles, to share her love of literature with a group of at-risk teenagers.Needless to say, they are not immediately receptive, and this young idealist gets very frustrated.Based on a true story, Erin Gruwell has now moved on to form a foundation called the Freedom Writers, which helps educators and students, to use writing to change their lives. She has also published several books on the same subjects. The students in the movie were all based on real life students in Gruwell's class.

2. Stand and Deliver
Stand and Deliver is the true story of math teacher, Mr. Escalante, who takes a bunch of math failures and turns them into math geniuses, one day at a time. Jaimie Escalante doesn't look very tough: he's half bald, and wears baggy pants, but he knows how to get through to the teenagers in his class.
Based on a true story, Stand and Deliver depicts a rebellious math teacher who transforms his seemingly hopeless, apathetic students into the top-scorers in the state. Their achievement is so remarkable that the school board accused the Latino students of cheating. Just imagine this story in our test-obsessed age of NCLB.

4. The Class
Based on a semi-biographical novel, written by Francois Begaudeau, who is the teacher in the movie, playing himself, the movie is very realistic. The style is low-key. Although it has the feel of a low-budget documentary movie, with acting that just feels like ordinary people being themselves, this movie's strength is its restraint. There's no hero rushing in to save the kids, no big transformations. This movie comes across a very real, and is interesting to watch for that reason.
5. School of Rock
5. School of Rock
After getting kicked out of his band and threatened with eviction, wannabe rockstar Dewey Finn (Jack Black) fakes his way into a sub job at a private school. Dewey taps into his fifth-graders’ talents for his rock n’ roll comeback. In a surprisingly heartwarming, screwball comedy, School of Rock also manages to slip a lesson on the value of art education under the radar.
