National Education Association television commercial 2016

What the National Education Association TV commercial - (Not) An Ordinary School Day is about.

The National Education Association (NEA) recently released a new TV spot titled '(Not) An Ordinary School Day,' that highlights the importance of teachers and their impact on students' lives. The TV spot showcases a typical school day from the perspective of several students, with a twist of unexpected events that show how teachers go above and beyond in their role as educators.

The TV spot begins with a young girl waking up to her alarm clock. She puts on her backpack and heads to school, where she is greeted by her favorite teacher, Ms. Garcia. As the day progresses, the TV spot shows other students' experiences, including a boy asking for help with a math problem, a group of classmates putting on a play, and two students conducting a science experiment.

However, what starts as a normal day takes a turn when a sudden thunderstorm causes a power outage. Without electricity, the students are unable to continue their lessons, but the teachers seize the opportunity to make the most of this unexpected situation. Ms. Garcia transforms her classroom into a makeshift planetarium, another teacher takes the opportunity to teach the students about energy conservation, and a coach leads a fun game of charades.

As the day comes to a close and the students head home, the TV spot reminds viewers that while this may not have been an ordinary school day, every day is an opportunity for teachers to make a difference in their students' lives.

Overall, the NEA's '(Not) An Ordinary School Day' TV spot serves as a powerful reminder of the essential role teachers play in shaping the future of our children and society as a whole. It highlights the creativity and dedication of teachers and celebrates the impact they have on students, beyond just academic learning.
