“Teacher: a master who, through personal example, inspires students to rebel against learning.”
“A teacher isn't someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.”
“A good teacher knows that the best way to help students learn is to allow them to find the truth by themselves. Students don't learn by a mere transfer of knowledge, consumed through rote memorization and later regurgitated. True learning comes about through the discovery of truth, not through the imposition of an official truth.”
“teachers are not tellers of information who "give it" to students but are coaches and facilitators who arrange conditions (personal, social, and cognitive) so that students can "get it" for themselves.”
“A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.”
“When teachers stop learning, so do students.”
