I found it interesting how many different types of roles that teachers can take on.  In Williams article it explains some of the different identities that teachers have.  There are up to “70 different identities” some examples being a coach, role-model, waiter, and bartenders.   When I think of my schooling I did not encounter all of the different identities but I did have some.   The identities that I saw the most of are coach, role model, and waiter.   The majority of my teachers took on the identity of a waiter.   They were there too help if I asked for it and made sure that class went smooth.  The teachers that I really connected with were the ones that took on the role of coaches and/or role models. This is most likely because I have always loved sports.  My most memorable teacher I had was Mr. Pawatki.  He was my elementary school P.E teacher.  We learned everything including how to unicycle, juggle, climb and much more.  He was definitely a role-model as well as a coach to me.   He always pushed me to improve skills and be the best I could be.   He also took some other roles such as a waiter.  Mr. Pawatki actually took on many different identities at the same time.  I feel that the more roles that teachers have the better. This way they may have more approaches to different situations.  I cant think of any pitfalls to identities.
