Documentary Subject

This is my boyfriend's mom, Pam Niedbala. Pam is a 1st grade teacher at Horizon Elementary School. I thought Pam would be an interesting person to interview because of the stories of her classroom and students that I hear often. She has a very unique way of teaching her dynamic classroom with a mixture of both normal and high ability students. I have always found 1st grade to be an interesting grade due to the fact that it is the first year of grade school and is a major transition from kindergarten. Pam also spends most weekends tutoring students in need of extra help.


This interview could be used as a marketing tool for the school. It would focus on the impact of the teachers on their students and explore different teaching styles that exist within the system. As I mentioned, I think first grade in particular would be important to highlight as it is an important time in a children's education.The documentary would allow viewers to get to know the teacher and offer them a look inside the classroom.


Interview Questions:
Why did you choose to teach 1st grade?
What do you like best about where you teach?
What is the most important thing you stress to your students?
What is the most difficult aspect of your job?
What do you like best about your job?
What is your favorite activity with your students?
What has teaching 1st grade taught you?
How has teaching changed since you started?
How has technology effected the way you teach?
What are your future goals for your classroom?
