Here is some inspiration for the beginning of the school year. These are some of my favourite quotes on education:
"If the child is not learning the way you're teaching, then you must teach the way the child learns."
Rita Dunn
"We cannot teach another person directly. We can only facilitate his/her learning."
Carl Rogers
"I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think."
Socrates
"The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn."
Marcus Tullius Cicero
"He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who doesn't ask a question remains a fool forever."
Chinese proverb
"The basic idea behind teaching is to teach people what they need to know."
Carl Rogers
"Students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."
Unknown
"Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand."
Chinese proverb
"A teacher is someone who makes himself progressively unnecessary."
Thomas Carruthers
These are some things I try to keep in mind. Do you agree with these sentences? Which is your favourite? Do you have any quotes to inspire you?

Helena thnks for sharing and putting together all this wisdom.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourites is: "Students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." Chaz Pugliese used to say this a lot.
I also like:
"When one teaches another, two learn"
"The people who keep learning, who keep trying new things are vibrant"
Take care! Happy teaching!
It's true, Chaz used to say this, but I couldn't find out who the original author was.
ReplyDeleteI liked "When one teaches another, two learn." It's incredible how much our students can teach us, if we give them a chance!
Really inspiring! Good to read every morning before starting!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
