What makes a good teacher?

The best teachers are the ones who teach to the whole child. Their vision of education is not limited to the tangibles of academic achievement but encompasses daily doses of compassion, flexibility, communication, humor, imagination, and the willingness to be open minded. Most importantly, a good teacher is someone who uses both his head and her heart in equal measure throughout the school day. Compassion is in understanding that a student may be frustrated, angry or just unable to focus on the academics at hand.

As "Alice in Wonderland" opens in movie theaters this weekend, CYT will present four more shows of  "Alice - The Looking Glass Girl".  While "Alice - The Looking Glass Girl" meets some of the typical Wonderland characters, the plot and settings are uniquely different.

In the opening scene, Alice is a high school senior who must write a paper which leaves her feeling extreme pressure to decide her life.  Then, she receive tickets to the "Red Queen" concert..but her mom will not allow her to go to the concert until her assignment is started.   With no progress on the paper, Alice and her sister decide to sneak out and go to the concert.  Then...the adventures begin....

In Wonderland, Alice meets the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, Dormouse, March Hare, Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum, and a White Knight....but not like you expect.  To find out more, go to www.cytvanport.org to order your tickets!!
