Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber and future of an individual. Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.
The influence of a good teacher can never be erased. A teacher plants the seeds of knowledge, sprinkles them with love, and patiently nurtures their growth. “Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher.” Japanese proverb.
A gifted teacher is not only prepared to meet the needs of today’s child but is also prepared to foresee the hopes and dreams in every child’s future. The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires” William Arthur Ward.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Real teaching is about lighting a fire, not filling a bucket.
Good teaching is more of giving the right questions than giving of right answers. Great teachers empathize with children, respect them and believe that each one has something special that can be built upon. If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people, instead teach
them to long for the endless immensity of the sea. “I touch the future. I teach.” Christa McAuliffe.
A nugget jotted by Kelvin Beat to blissfully mark Happy World Teachers' Day with his colleagues currently in that noble profession since he's one of them...once a teacher, always a teacher.
