1. SOME THOUGHTS ON BECOMING A BETTER TEACHER

2. SOME THOUGHTS ON BECOMING A BETTER TEACHER SUBMITTED BY: PROF. V. VISWANADHAM

3. Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions.

4. A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron.

5. The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher i n s p i r e s .

6. Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.

7. 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 soul of the child.

8. 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.

9. Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.

10. A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.

11. Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task.

12. What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches.

13. A teacher affects Eternity . He can never tell where his influence stops .

14. Teaching should be full of ideas instead of being stuffed with facts.

15. To teach is to learn twice

16. The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher

17. When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion. WHAT IS YOUR RELIGION ?

18. PLEASE SPARE SOME TIME TO REFLECT ON THESE THOUGHTS THANK YOU
