I once had a teacher ( in nursery school ) who took us on a field trip to a large library on a college campus. She said to us, all the information these books contain will fit inside your brain. I was flabbergasted.

When I arrived home I remember telling my grandfather about the trip,he told me that I needed to learn someting new everyday. He went on to say if ever a day comes and you didn’t learn something new that day,I was dead to the world.

I didn’t understand it then,however, I endevored to learn something new anyway. I still do.

There are two classes of educators in the world. One class are those whom God makes channels of light, and the other class are those whom Satan uses as his agents, who are wise to do evil. One class contemplates the character of God, and increases in the knowledge of Jesus, whom God hath sent into

Jamie’s organization and language efficiency is superb here. I pondered her post for most of the evening before finally responding to it on my blog, maybe as her ideas relate more to my own pedagogy. You can read it here:

I agree with all of your points. Your first point is only half right. I know plenty of teachers who fit all four of your points but they aren’t successful because they don’t love their students. To be an effective teacher, you must have a love of and for your students. Your students will pick up on your lack of love and you won’t be able to teach them anything. Please, love your students. Love seeing them everyday. Love engaging them in discussion. Love reading and listening to what they have to say. Love their successes and failures. Love them, in addition to everything else that you listed.
