Top Teacher Teaching Quotes

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Confucius

Be versed in ancient lore, and familiarize yourself with the modern; then may you become teachers. — Confucius

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Miguel Angel Ruiz

As a kid, I succumbed to peer pressure; I created an image of myself that was not true. But that belief system ended with the death of a close friend. It was then that I reached out for help from my father. It wasn't the teachings of The Four Agreements exactly, it was just my father's teachings in general. And because of this, I am grateful to continue my family's legacy. In this way, I say "thank you" to my family and teachers before me. — Miguel Angel Ruiz

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Meg Wolitzer

New teachers were just a part of life, for a few days after one arrived, squawks of interest were emitted from various corners, but then they died away as the teacher was absorbed like everyone else ... before you knew it, the fresh ones seemed to have been teaching there forever too, or else they didn't last very long, and were gone before you'd gotten to know them. — Meg Wolitzer

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Peter Drucker

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

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Frank Herbert

We never completely escape the teachers of our childhood nor any of the patterns that formed us. — Frank Herbert

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Omar Dorsey

At the end of the day, I want to be a teacher at a university, teaching film or acting. — Omar Dorsey

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Janiece Hopper

My reading is dead!' Pilar gasped. The little girl held the fourth grade reading book, rigid as a stillborn, across her open palms as if pleading with the pretty gringa teacher to take the burden away. — Janiece Hopper

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Frederick Lenz

In the esoteric teachings, a transference process takes place between teacher and student where knowledge is actually transmitted from one to the other. This requires that the student be receptive. — Frederick Lenz

Teacher Teaching Quotes By John Holt

Not long after the book came out I found myself being driven to a meeting
by a professor of electrical engineering in the graduate school I of MIT. He said that after reading the book he realized that his graduate students were using on him, and had used for the ten years and more he had been teaching there, all the evasive strategies I described in the book - mumble, guess-and-look, take a wild guess and see what happens, get the teacher to answer his own questions, etc.
But as I later realized, these are the games that all humans play when others
are sitting in judgment on them. — John Holt

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Swami Vivekananda

You see, no one can teach anybody. The teacher spoils everything by thinking that he is teaching. Thus Vedanta says that within man is all knowledge-even in a boy it is so-and it requires only an awakening, and that much is the work of a teacher. — Swami Vivekananda

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Gordon Brown

To be a teacher you must be a prophet - because you are trying to prepare people for a world thirty to fifty years into the future. — Gordon Brown

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Marva Collins

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

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Georg C. Lichtenberg

Most subjects at universities are taught for no other purpose than that they may be re-taught when the students become teachers. — Georg C. Lichtenberg

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Robertson Davies

To instruct calls for energy, and to remain almost silent, but watchful and helpful, while students instruct themselves, calls for even greater energy. To see someone fall (which will teach him not to fall again) when a word from you would keep him on his feet but ignorant of an important danger, is one of the tasks of the teacher that calls for special energy, because holding in is more demanding than crying out. — Robertson Davies

Teacher Teaching Quotes By John Steinbeck

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit. — John Steinbeck

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Lyndon B. Johnson

But more classrooms and more teachers are not enough. We must seek an educational system which grows in excellence as it grows in size. This means better training for our teachers. It means preparing youth to enjoy their hours of leisure as well as their hours of labor. It means exploring new techniques of teaching, to find new ways to stimulate the love of learning and the capacity for creation. — Lyndon B. Johnson

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Hugo Rossi

The goal of teaching is learning, not teaching. — Hugo Rossi

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Richard Mulcaster

The teacher's life is painfull and therefore would be pityed: it wrastles with unthankfulnesse above all measure ... Our calling creepes low and hath pain for companion. — Richard Mulcaster

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Pierre Trudeau

The Jesuits were good educators, exceptional teachers. In an era and in a society where freedom of speech was not held in high regard, of course, that the discourse be focused on what they were teaching, but we were able to go beyond this framework without incurring too great a risk. — Pierre Trudeau

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Tim Fargo

We need people who push boundaries rather than retreat inside them. — Tim Fargo

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Rush Limbaugh

Police and firefighters are great, but they don't create wealth. They protect it. That's crucial. Teaching is a wonderful profession. Teachers help educate people to become good citizens so that citizens can then go create wealth. But they don't create the wealth themselves. — Rush Limbaugh

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Earl Lovelace

As a teacher, his task was not to make policy but to follow the policy made by the Department. — Earl Lovelace

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Kurt Vonnegut

The very best thing you can be in life is a teacher, provided you are crazy in love with what you teach, and that your classes consist of eighteen students or fewer. Classes of eighteen students or fewer are a family, and feel and act like one. — Kurt Vonnegut

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Howard Zinn

But I was open to anything my students wanted to do, refusing to accept the idea that a teacher should confine his teaching to the classroom when so much was at stake outside it. — Howard Zinn

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Nicole Hardy

It didn't take long to figure out I'll never go back to teaching public high school. Why would I, when I can make virtually the same money waiting tables, have no stress, and work half the hours? When I can give away or trade my shifts if I need time to write or study. When I'll never have to wake up early, take my work home, or talk to anyone's parents
unless it's in regards to the nightly specials, the Spanish grenache that pairs beautifully with our house-made mole sauce. — Nicole Hardy

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Winifred Holtby

Teachers have power. We may cripple them by petty economics; by Government regulations, by the foolish criticism of an uninformed press; but their power exists for good or evil ... — Winifred Holtby

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Ludwig Van Beethoven

Rossini would have been a great composer if his teacher had spanked him enough on his backside. — Ludwig Van Beethoven

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Noam Chomsky

The idea that you have to drop any thing that you might be interested in doing because you have to pass that test tomorrow and it's something that you're not interested in, that's just the opposite of education. It's also harming teaching, because the teachers are evaluated by the results of the test. — Noam Chomsky

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Charles F. Glassman

We can learn from teaching. But in order to master, we must be the teacher. — Charles F. Glassman

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Mark Barnes

A five-minute teacher understands that peers' words can carry a lot more weight than his or her own, and there is nothing wrong with students doing the teaching. — Mark Barnes

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Molly Crabapple

I think that school just isn't for everyone. A lot of people don't learn well when they're - have to sit in a place for eight hours. A lot of people learn best lying in their own bed, teaching themselves from books. And I was a bad student. I was a brat. If I was a teacher, I would not have liked myself. — Molly Crabapple

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Noam Chomsky

As any good teacher knows, the methods of instruction and the range of material covered are matters of small importance as compared with the success in arousing the natural curiosity of the students and stimulating their interest in exploring on their own. — Noam Chomsky

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Alex Malley

You can never stop being a teacher. It is the core responsibility of a leader. — Alex Malley

Teacher Teaching Quotes By David Sirlin

Teaching has its virtues, but it is often bad for the teacher. — David Sirlin

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Frederick Lenz

The highest teaching is never written down. It's only communicated from teacher to student because it's a "transmission of the lamp." It's a transmission of mind. — Frederick Lenz

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Khalil Gibran

Whoever would be a teacher of men let him begin by teaching himself before teaching others; and let him teach by example before teaching by word. For he who teaches himself and rectifies his own ways is more deserving of respect and reverence than he who would teach others and rectify their ways. — Khalil Gibran

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Israelmore Ayivor

It's iron that can sharpen iron; wood cannot do that. — Israelmore Ayivor

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Kate Horsley

Teaching is a sacred art. This is why the noblest druid is not the one who conjures fires and smoke but the one who brings the news and passes on the histories. The teacher, the bard, the singer of tales is a freer of men's minds and bodies, especially when he roams without allegiance to one chieftain or another. But he is also a danger to the masters if he insists upon telling the truth. The truth will inevitably cause tremors in those who cling to power without honoring justice. — Kate Horsley

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Bill Bigelow

At a time when we need an urgent national conversation about how schools and curriculum should address the environmental crisis, we're being told that the problems we need to focus on are teacher incompetence, government monopoly, and market competition. The reform agenda reflects the same private interests that are moving to shrink public space-interests that have no desire to raise questions that might encourage students to think critically about the roots of the environmental crisis, or to examine society's unsustainable distribution of wealth and power. — Bill Bigelow

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Ken Robinson

Much of the cause of the teacher attrition rate is the condition under which many teachers work. "The data suggest that school staffing problems are rooted in the way schools are organized and the way the teaching occupation is treated and that lasting improvements in the quality and quantity of the teaching workforce will require improvements in the quality of the teaching job."39 — Ken Robinson

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Adora Svitak

Ineffective substitute teaching is a problem that means thousands of hours of lost learning for America's students. It cannot be dismissed with a sigh and 'Just wait for the teacher to come back on Monday.' — Adora Svitak

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Thomas E. Sanders

The school takes its coloring from your
own attitude, — Thomas E. Sanders

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Tucker Elliot

Educators are in the news, too. Usually that's bad. I had a favorite college professor. He used to tell us, 'If you make CNN as a teacher, you're probably going to jail. — Tucker Elliot

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Irina Tweedie

I hoped to get instruction in Yoga, expected wonderful teachings, but what the teacher did was mainly to force me to face the darkness within myself and it almost killed me ... I was beaten down in every sense until I had to come to terms with that in me which I kept rejecting all my life. — Irina Tweedie

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Kristin Davis

I started doing yoga in my 20s. I did teacher training, that was what I was going to do if acting didn't work out. I started teaching other actors right at the beginning of the yoga craze - people still thought it was a little weird, but a lot of actors I knew were getting into it and didn't want to look foolish in class. So I started teaching them! — Kristin Davis

Teacher Teaching Quotes By E.R. Braithwaite

Today I was a teacher, employed. True, I was also a teacher untried, but that could also be an advantage. I would learn, by God I'd learn. Nothing was going to stop me. — E.R. Braithwaite

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Santosh Avvannavar

Google has made teaching more challenging because learners believe that Google is their answer. But the learners are only forced to classrooms because questions are with teachers. Will Bing become learners' teacher by providing questions? — Santosh Avvannavar

Teacher Teaching Quotes By John Dewey

Too rarely is the individual teacher so free from the dictation of authoritative supervisor, textbook on methods, prescribed course of study, etc., that he can let his mind come to close quarters with the pupil's mind and the subject matter. — John Dewey

Teacher Teaching Quotes By William Hague

To the teacher weighed down with paperwork, I say: you've been messed around too often. You came into teaching to spend your time teaching children not filling in forms. — William Hague

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Howard Gardner

Teachers must be encouraged - I almost said 'freed', to pursue an education that strives for depth of understanding. — Howard Gardner

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Frank M. Wanderer

The truth is that we are the embodiment of Life, we are born into this world as a result of a miracle, and later we are lost amidst the multitude of teachings and dogmas. After identifying with our beliefs and convinctions we forget who we really are, who the person born in us into the world in order to experience existence and get acquainted with all the teachings. — Frank M. Wanderer

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Edward Lee Thorndike

Of course present knowledge of psychology is nearer to zero than to complete perfection, and its applications to teaching must therefore be often incomplete, indefinite, and insecure. The application of psychology to teaching is more like that of botany and chemistry to farming than like that of physiology and pathology to medicine. Anyone of good sense can farm fairly well without science, and anyone of good sense can teach fairly well without knowing and applying psychology. Still, as the farmer with the knowledge of the applications of botany and chemistry to farming is, other things being equal, more successful than the farmer without it, so the teacher will, other things being equal, be the more successful who can apply psychology, the science of human nature, to the problems of the school. (pp. 9-10) — Edward Lee Thorndike

Teacher Teaching Quotes By William James

The teachers of this country, one may say, have its future in their hands. — William James

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Keith Johnstone

Many teachers think of children as immature adults. It might lead to better and more 'respectful' teaching, if we thought of adults as atrophied children. — Keith Johnstone

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Nick Harkaway

People don't want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know. If you're a teacher you're in a constant battle with mildly deluded adults who think the world will get better if you imagine it is better. You want to teach about sex? Fine, but only when they're old enough to do it. You want to talk politics? Sure, but nothing modern. Religion? So long as you don't actually think about it. Otherwise some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch. — Nick Harkaway

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Bruce Barton

The five steps in teaching an employee new skills are preparation, explanation, showing, observation and supervision. — Bruce Barton

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Evan Esar

Experience is a great teacher, and sometimes a pretty teacher is a great experience. — Evan Esar

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Ludwig Wittgenstein

A teacher who can show good, or indeed astounding results while he is teaching, is still not on that account a good teacher, for it may be that, while his pupils are under his immediate influence, he raises them to a level which is not natural to them, without developing their own capacities for work at this level, so that they immediately decline again once the teacher leaves the schoolroom. — Ludwig Wittgenstein

Teacher Teaching Quotes By William Arthur Ward

Teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change. — William Arthur Ward

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Ralph Waldo Emerson

The man (or woman) who can make hard things easy is the educator. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Ludwig Von Mises

The Pseudo-liberals monopolize the teaching jobs at many universities. Only men who agree with them are appointed as teachers and instructors of the social sciences, and only textbooks supporting their ideas are used. — Ludwig Von Mises

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Paulo Freire

Whether the teacher is authoritarian, undisciplined, competent, incompetent, serious, irresponsible, involved, a lover of people and of life, cold, angry with the world, bureaucratic, excessively rational, or whatever else, he/she will not pass through the classroom without leaving his or her mark on the students. — Paulo Freire

Teacher Teaching Quotes By John Dewey

Any genuine teaching will result, if successful, in someone's knowing how to bring about a better condition of things than existed earlier. — John Dewey

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Andy Hargreaves

The rules of the world are changing. It is time for the rules of teaching and teachers' work to change with them. — Andy Hargreaves

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Howard Zinn

I wanted to be a part of history and not just a recorder and teacher of history. So that kind of attitude towards history, history itself as a political act, has always informed my writing and my teaching. — Howard Zinn

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Richard Griffiths

I know I have this kind of teaching element in me, but I don't want to become a 'teacher of theater' because that would formalize something that I'd much rather keep casual. — Richard Griffiths

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Ken Robinson

To improve our schools, we have to humanize them and make education personal to every student and teacher in the system. Education is always about relationships. Great teachers are not just instructors and test administrators. They are mentors, coaches, motivators, and lifelong sources of inspiration to their students. Teaching is an art form. Great teachers know they have to cultivate curiosity, passion and creativity in their students. — Ken Robinson

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Samuel Johnson

He that teaches us anything which we knew not before is undoubtedly to be reverenced as a master. — Samuel Johnson

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Rosie O'Donnell

The teachers in America need to be applauded every day because they save the lives of kids! — Rosie O'Donnell

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Malala Yousafzai

One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world. — Malala Yousafzai

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Paul Goodman

A good teacher feels his way, looking for response. — Paul Goodman

Teacher Teaching Quotes By John Dewey

Teaching can be compared to selling commodities. No one can sell unless someone buys ... yet there are teachers who think they have done a good day's teaching irrespective of what the pupils have learned. — John Dewey

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Justin Trudeau

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. — Justin Trudeau

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Tony Danza

Teaching high school in an inner-city school is not an easy task. Every teacher is responsible for 150 teenagers. The amount of work is just mind-boggling. Remember, you're not just doing a job. You have these kids' futures in your hand; you have to inspire them. — Tony Danza

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Albert Einstein

The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province. — Albert Einstein

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Gina Greenlee

The best way to teach is how you live your life. — Gina Greenlee

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Roald Dahl

You mean you live down here?' Matilda asked.
'I do', Miss Honey replied, but she said no more.
Matilda had never once stopped to think about where Miss Honey might be living. She had always regarded her purely as a teacher, a person who turned up out of nowhere and taught at school and then went away again. — Roald Dahl

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Paul Washer

Men, your primary responsibility in your home, after your wife, is you to disciple your own children. And if you don't do it, you're in sin; you are in sin. And if you turn it over to a Sunday school teacher, you are in sin. And you are to be teaching these children more than just stories about animals that went into Noah's ark. You're to be teaching them about God, about radical depravity, about blood atonement, about propitiation, expiation, justification, sanctification; you are to teach your children! — Paul Washer

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Frank Smith

The best teachers are the best storytellers. — Frank Smith

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Richard Bach

Every real teacher is myself in disguise. — Richard Bach

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Echo Bodine

We think we have to prove our allegiance to God by being poor. Many years ago, my own psychic development teacher taught me that to be on a spiritual path meant that you needed to be poor, because that was proving your allegiance to God. So growing up with that kind of teaching from her was a real struggle for me, also. — Echo Bodine

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

So many teachers teach us but we shall always remember certain teachers — Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Morris Kline

[The error in the teaching of mathematics is that] mathematics is expected either to be immediately attractive to students on its own merits or to be accepted by students solely on the basis of the teacher's assurance that it will be helpful in later life. [And yet,] mathematlcs is the key to understanding and mastering our physical, social and biological worlds. — Morris Kline

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Martha Stewart

When I was growing up my mom was home. She wanted to go to work, but she waited. She was educated as a teacher. The minute my youngest sister went to school full-time, from first grade, mom went back to work. But she balanced her life. She chose teaching which enabled her to leave at the same time we left, and come home pretty much the same time we came home. She knew how to balance. — Martha Stewart

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Lisa Delpit

Progressive white teachers seem to say to their black students 'Let me help you find your voice. I promise not to criticize one note as you search for your song'. But the black teachers say 'I've heard your song loud and clear. Now I want to teach you to harmonize with the rest of the world. — Lisa Delpit

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Anthony Liccione

A good teacher is one, that never stops listening; a good listener is one, that never stops teaching. — Anthony Liccione

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Margaret Mead

In every human society of which we have any record, there are those who teach and those who learn, for learning a way of life is implicit in all human culture as we know it. But the separation of the teacher's role from the role of all adults who inducted the young into the habitual behavior of the group, was a comparatively late invention. Furthermore, when we do find explicit and defined teaching, in primitive societies we find it tied in with a sense of the rareness or the precariousness of some human tradition. — Margaret Mead

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Alice Walker

Howard Zinn was magical as a teacher. Witty, irreverent, and wise, he loved what he was teaching and clearly wanted his students to love it, also. — Alice Walker

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Robert Sternberg

In other words, if a teacher only teaches in one way, then they conclude that the kids who can't learn well that way don't have the ability, when, in fact, it may be that the way the teacher's teaching is not a particularly good match to the way those kids learn. — Robert Sternberg

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Milton Berle

Some kids want to know why the teachers get paid when it's the kids who have to do all the work. — Milton Berle

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Nathan Fillion

I always wanted to be an actor, but in Edmonton, Alberta, that's not a success-oriented career. So I said, 'I'll get my (teaching) degree and then I'll see what happens, but I'll always have that to fall back on.' So if anybody were to look at me and say, 'Oh, you're an actor,' I could always say, 'Hey man, I'm a teacher!' — Nathan Fillion

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Eric Hoffer

It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn. — Eric Hoffer

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Charles Lamb

Why are we never quite at ease in the presence of a schoolmaster? Because we are conscious that he is not quite at his ease in ours. He is awkward, and out of place in the society of his equals. He comes like Gulliver from among his little people, and he cannot fit the stature of his understanding to yours. — Charles Lamb

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Theodore M. Burton

The greater the teacher, the greater the pupil may become. — Theodore M. Burton

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Madeleine L'Engle

The creative impulse can be killed, but it cannot be taught ... What a teacher can do ... in working with children, is to give the flame enough oxygen so that it can burn. As far as I'm concerned, this providing of oxygen is one of the noblest of all vocations. — Madeleine L'Engle

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Mark Twain

When a teacher calls a boy by his entire name, it means trouble. — Mark Twain

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Mercy Celeste

It's why I went into teaching in the first place. I like the sound of my own voice. Well that, and I am addicted to the smell of chalk and white-board markers. — Mercy Celeste

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Vironika Tugaleva

The transformed person is a revolutionary only because he has revolutionized himself. He gives the people inspiration by holding up a mirror to their inner substance. — Vironika Tugaleva

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Joseph Conrad

To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot. — Joseph Conrad

Teacher Teaching Quotes By Pat Conroy

Though I've never met a teacher who was not happy in retirement, I rarely meet one who thinks that their teaching life was not a grand way to spend a human life. The unhappy ones are the young ones, those who must teach in public schools when the whole nation seems at war with the very essence of teaching. — Pat Conroy
