A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. ~Anon Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
~Jacques Barzun A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism.
~Louis A. Berman A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image. ~Anon

Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures. ~Eugene P. Bertin
The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple. ~Amos Bronson Alcott

A central piece in Hindu scripture reads
"Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Guru devo Maheshwaraha - Gurussaakshaath param brahma tasmai shree gurave namaha," which translates as
"The Guru (Teacher) is the Lord Brahma (the Creator), the Guru is the Lord Vishnu (the Preserver), the Guru is the Lord Shiva (the Destroyer).

    Alexander the Great said, “I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well” (www.brainyquote.com). He was a man who knew something about both living well and about teachers. No man has ever risen to a place of greater prominence in such a brief span. Furthermore, very few could boast of having a better teacher than Aristotle. He has been dead for well above two thousand years, yet there is not an undergraduate student, perhaps in the western world today, who has not studied Aristotle to some degree. This is the quality teacher the author of this quote had. He had it right, in my opinion. This is the ultimate goal of teaching and teachers to enable the student to live well.…

    There are teachers all around the world. They may not have a big class, or work in a school, or have a shiny new apple on their desk, but they want people to understand the lesson that they are providing. A lesson that they have already experienced in their one life that they want us to try and avoid as much as possible. Making our…

    “Not only does the student learn from the teacher, but I believe the teacher must learn from the student.” Graciela Hammeken says while casually sitting next to me in her office. With these powerful words, Graciela Hammeken has changed many people’s perspective on the relationship between teachers and students. In her opinion, creating the most successful and comfortable learning environment, starts from equal respect that is reciprocated from student to the teacher.…

    Plato stated how those well taught are now able to see from both angles, remembering what it was like to see the shadows, but knowing the light, they can then see “ten thousand times better” than those in the cave (Plato 5). As we gain knowledge and understanding, we are then able to share with others what we have learned and understand. It can be a pleasure to witness someone who has been given deep understanding in a matter and is then gifted with teaching and instructing it to others. Those who were instructed now become the “instructors”. A joy to behold.…

    The teachers no longer merely the-one-who-teaches, but one who is himself taught in dialogue with the students, who in turn while being taught also teach. They become jointly responsible for a process in which all grow.” (Bartholomae 324) I found this quote to be shocking while also quite obvious. When teachers say “there are no bad questions” or “it is good to make mistakes” I believe they are doing this to learn how they can teach the information so students can learn best and begin to improve. With this dialogue, as Freire said, the student is growing because they are learning from their mistakes and the teacher is learning because they are learning from the mistakes of their students. This produces growth for both the student and the teacher because they both have information that they did not have in the past. I think I found this quote to be shocking because I have never thought about dialogue between a student and a teacher in that…

    A Legacy to Education

    • 767 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The philosophy of a learner is to have an instructive knowledge that is developmental and individualized. A learner with experiential, life-centered and a relevant learning educational experience will move toward self-directed learning. I will impact Learner’s lives with education that is valued as a resource where learning is driven, first by internal motivators rather than external motivators. (Western Michigan University Department of Therapy 1995) I will have a positive influence on learners by using the art of teaching. With my skills acquired by my experience and study and the science of my occupation, I will impact their learning experience and accelerate their abilities to its highest potential. I will be remembered for my emphases on creating an atmosphere for learning, bringing qualified data through presentation and innovation, of the highest quality, including unpredicted events into the lessons. Learners will remember me as a teacher, and an artist who’s medium of expression is spontaneous, unpredictable, unrehearsed, and a God created experience of learning between teacher and student. (Parkay and Stanford) The legacy I bring to learners in the field of education believes that all students can learn in an effective and collaborative way that will maximize my learned skills, as well as my student’s learning and ability to achieve. (COE…

    For few people, Shiva is "Paramatman", "Brahman", the Absolute, but many more prefer to see Shiva as a personal God given to compassion for his worshippers, and the dispenser of both spiritual and material blessings. Related to the Absolute concept is Shiva as "Yoganath" meaning the Lord of Yoga, wherein he becomes teacher, path and goal. As such he is the "Adi Guru" or the Highest Guru of 'Sannyasins' who have renounced the world to attain the Absolute.…
