When Dewey poses as Mr. Sneedbly, you would imagine only bad things can happen. Considering he's attempting to be a substitute teacher at a prep school, he's not all that bad at teaching. Yes, he doesn't teach the curriculum, as Summer early points out, but he does something else with the class. He takes the music skills that the class, only exposed to classic music, has and turns it into a class project. At first, his intentions are all about him, but in the end he has inspired students about music through a different lens, a lens they most likely wouldn't have looked through if it wasn't for him. With the class band, at first students were hesitant about outside their norm teacher but the class took on ownership of their project band. He also does an excellent job of connecting the class project to reality. Students were able to take their collaborative effort and show their skills in a real competition, Battle of the Bands. Through creating musical fusion, "Mr. Schneebly," executes individualized instruction with Zack and also guided practice when playing with the band. Not to mention the constructive feedback he gives to Freddie. Dewey has passed his passion for rock music to his students. Although unconventional, the fake Mr. Sneedbly is a successful and effective teacher.
