My Thoughts: Don't Call Me a Classroom Teacher

During a recent school tour, I made the mistake of asking a veteran teacher whether she was a classroom teacher or an administrator.  She vehemently told me that she was not a classroom teacher that she was a SCHOOL teacher.  Her impact was not limited to the four walls of her classroom.  Her presence and guidance was felt school-wide.  When you accept the title of classroom teacher, it places you with one group and with one content.  Her reach is far broader than that.  So what would you like to be called?
