If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job.
Donald D. Quinn
The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.
K. Patricia Cross
Teachers who cannot keep students involved and excited for several hours in the classroom should not be there.
John Roueche
Teaching is the highest form of understanding.
Aristotle
We teach what we like to learn and the reason many people go into teaching is vicariously to reexperience the primary joy experienced the first time they learned something they loved.
Stephen Brookfield
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theatre.
Gail Godwin
Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.
"Chinese proverb"
It's not what is poured into a student that counts, but what is planted.
Linda Conway
A mind is a fire to be kindled, not a vessel to be filled.
Plutarch
