Teacher Verónica Duque is not like the others. She is a woman who goes above and beyond to ensure that her pupils are enthusiastic and involved in their education. The 43-year-old recently made the decision to teach anatomy in a full-body costume that featured an intricate map of the human body. After fifteen years of teaching, Verónica is a third-grade teacher at the moment. She is constantly searching for methods to give her students more engaging and fascinating teachings. She decided to give an Ali Express swimsuit that featured an illustration of the human body’s internal parts a try after seeing an advertisement for it.
Verónica’s husband Michael quickly became well-known after he posted several images from the lesson. She became well-known in the education world as a sign of inventiveness and commitment after her tweet received over 65K likes and 14K replies. But Verónica is far from finished. She has a ton of other surprises planned for her students. When teaching history, she enjoys dressing up as someone else and using cardboard crowns to teach grammar to her students. She is committed to dispelling the false stereotype that teachers are indolent bureaucrats, which she feels is prevalent.
Verónica’s full-body costume caused some people to draw comparisons between her and Slim Goodbody. For those who do not know, John Burstein invented the costumed figure Slim Goodbody, who has been advocating for children’s health for more than 40 years. Millions of kids watch his shows on Discovery Education, and each year thousands of kids see his live performances as they travel around US theaters. Despite coming from different backgrounds, Slim Goodbody and Verónica Duque are dedicated to providing children with engaging and enjoyable learning experiences. More educators like Verónica and more supporters of education like Slim are needed. When combined, they have the power to positively influence the lives of countless kids everywhere.
