“Great teachers do not just know their subject - they love it. They do not just pass on knowledge - they pass on wonder. They do not just spend time teaching - they invest themselves into every student. They do not just improve results - they transform the imagination of those they teach.”
Grant Fairley
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”
William Arthur Ward
“No man can be a good teacher unless he has feelings of warm affection toward his pupils and a genuine desire to impart to them what he believes to be of value.”
Bertrand Russell
“The metaphor is the skeleton key to unlock the mind of any student.”
“The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds it hard to answer”
Alice Wellington Rollins
“Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.”
Marva Collins
“What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?”
Marcus Tullius Cicero
