Teacher
(page 2)
A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.
A good teacher is a determined person.
A good teacher, like a good entertainer first must hold his audience's attention, then he can teach his lesson.
I am a teacher. It's how I define myself. A good teacher isn't someone who gives the answers out to their kids but is understanding of needs and challenges and gives tools to help other people succeed. That's the way I see myself, so whatever it is that I will do eventually after politics, it'll have to do a lot with teaching.
Of all the hard jobs around, one of the hardest is being a good teacher.
Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.
Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.
Mama was my greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then my mother is that sweet flower of love.
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
It's the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
When people say, you know, 'Good teacher', 'Prophet', 'Really nice guy'... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. So you're left with a challenge in that, which is either Jesus was who he said he was or a complete and utter nut case. You have to make a choice on that.
A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.
Read something of interest every day — something of interest to you, not to your teacher or your best friend or your minister/rabbi/priest. Comics count. So does poetry. So do editorials in your school newspaper. Or a biography of a rock star. Or an instructional manual. Or the Bible.
I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
There's always someone asking you to underline one piece of yourself — whether it's Black, woman, mother, dyke, teacher, etc. — because that's the piece that they need to key in to. They want to dismiss everything else.
Research shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school.
When I was able to go to school in my early years, my third grade teacher, Ms. Harris, convinced me that one day I would be a writer. I heard her, but I knew that I had to leave Georgia, and unlike my friend Ray Charles, I did not go around with 'Georgia on My Mind'.
