What is a teacher? I’ll tell you: it isn’t someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.
He who opens a school door, closes a prison.
The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil.
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.
If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.
Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level.
A teacher should have a creative mind.
Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.
Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.
When one teaches, two learn.
Teach by teaching, not by correcting.
True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.
Enter to learn; depart to serve.
It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.
Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you, THAT is your teacher.
Let your light shine. Be a source of strength and courage. Share your wisdom. Radiate love.
And if those children are unresponsive, maybe you can’t teach them yet, but you can love them. And if you love them today, maybe you can teach them tomorrow.
Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher.
