Personal Development for teachers:
Personal Development, keep learning and growing.I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann" The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth." ~Dan Rather In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years. ~Jacques Barzun Teaching creates all other professions. ~Author Unknown 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 Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing. ~John F. Kennedy A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary. ~Thomas Carruthers Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater. ~Gail Godwin A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron. ~Horace Mann Most teachers have little control over school policy or curriculum or choice of texts or special placement of students, but most have a great deal of autonomy inside the classroom. To a degree shared by only a few other occupations, such as police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid. ~Tracy Kidder A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. ~Henry Brooks Adams A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. ~Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, translated from Turkish If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. ~Margaret Fuller 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 good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism. ~Louis A. Berman We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children. ~John Sculley Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more. ~Bob Talbert The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. ~William Arthur Ward The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself. ~Edward Bulwer-Lytton A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image. ~Author Unknown What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches. ~Karl Menninger Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts. ~Author Unknown A cross-eyed teacher can keep twice the number of children in order than any other, because the pupils do not know who she's looking at. ~Four Hundred Laughs: Or, Fun Without Vulgarity, compiled and edited by John R. Kemble, 1902 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
Teachers who inspire know that teaching is like cultivating a garden, and those who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers. ~Author Unknown Teachers who inspire realize there will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how we use them. ~Author Unknown Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition. ~Jacques Barzun One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. ~Carl Jung A teacher's job is to take a bunch of live wires and see that they are well-grounded. ~D. Martin What a teacher writes on the blackboard of life can never be erased. ~Author Unknown The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind. ~Kahlil Gibran Discover wildlife: be a teacher! ~Author Unknown 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 When you teach your son, you teach your son's son. ~The Talmud The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book. ~Author Unknown The average teacher explains complexity; the gifted teacher reveals simplicity. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher. That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number. ~Author Unknown 2 Teach is2 Touch lives4 Ever~Author Unknown Who dares to teach must never cease to learn. ~John Cotton Dana There are three good reasons to be a teacher - June, July, and August. ~Author Unknown A truly special teacher is very wise, and sees tomorrow in every child's eyes. ~Author Unknown A teacher should have maximal authority, and minimal power. ~Thomas Szaz To teach is to learn twice. ~Joseph Joubert, Pensées, 1842 The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just learned this morning. ~Author Unknown Teachers touch the future. ~Author Unknown 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 The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher. ~Elbert Hubbard Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach. ~Peter Drucker Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task. ~Haim G. Ginott The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. ~Mark Van Doren Quotations From Teachers: The only reason I always try to meet and know the parents better is because it helps me to forgive their children. ~Louis Johannot If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I'll promise not to believe everything he says happens at home. ~Anonymous Teacher Learning to Dance in the Rain w/free Dvd Personal DevelopmentYou can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives. ~Clay P. Bedford Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life. ~Henry L. Doherty I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma. ~Eartha Kitt It's what you learn after you know it all that counts. ~Attributed to Harry S Truman A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study. ~Chinese Proverb In the spider-web of facts, many a truth is strangled. ~Paul Eldridge When the student is ready, the master appears. ~Buddhist Proverb Give me a fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections. You can keep your sterile truth for yourself. ~Vilfredo Pareto It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it. ~Jacob Bronowski Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned. ~Mark Twain Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes You learn something every day if you pay attention. ~Ray LeBlond The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue. ~Antisthenes Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon. ~Alexander Pope Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every conceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing. ~Thomas Huxley Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves. ~Abbé Dimnet, Art of Thinking, 1928 I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. ~Abraham Lincoln The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr. ~Mohammed Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. ~Chinese Proverb All the world is a laboratory to the inquiring mind. ~Martin H.

I am defeated, and know it, if I meet any human being from whom I find myself unable to learn anything. ~George Herbert Palmer Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will. ~Vernon Howard Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. ~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. I find four great classes of students: The dumb who stay dumb. The dumb who become wise. The wise who go dumb. The wise who remain wise. ~Martin H. Fischer No matter how one may think himself accomplished, when he sets out to learn a new language, science, or the bicycle, he has entered a new realm as truly as if he were a child newly born into the world. ~Frances Willard, How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. ~Henry Ford It is not hard to learn more. What is hard is to unlearn when you discover yourself wrong. ~Martin H. Fischer Each day learn something new, and just as important, relearn something old. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com If the past cannot teach the present and the father cannot teach the son, then history need not have bothered to go on, and the world has wasted a great deal of time. ~Russell Hoban You have learned something. That always feels at first as if you had lost something. ~H.G. Wells I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me. ~Dudley Field Malone Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily. ~Thomas Szasz I am what the librarians have made me with a little assistance from a professor of Greek and a few poets. ~Bernard Keble Sandwell Learn as much as you can while you are young, since life becomes too busy later. ~Dana Stewart Scott His studies were pursued but never effectually overtaken. ~H.G.

Teachers are the custodians of apparatus upon which he himself must turn and twist to acquire the excellencies that distinguish the better from the poorer of God's vessels. ~Martin H. Fischer The best of my education has come from the public library... my tuition fee is a bus fare and once in a while, five cents a day for an overdue book. You don't need to know very much to start with, if you know the way to the public library. ~Lesley Conger The man who is too old to learn was probably always too old to learn. ~Henry S. Haskins We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. ~Lloyd Alexander You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way. ~Marvin Minsky The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn. ~John Lubbock A watched child never learns. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back. ~Chinese Proverb People learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what they learned the day before was wrong. ~Bill Vaughan Secrets of the World Class with Free Dvd
