32. If kids come to us from strong,
healthy functioning families, it
makes our job easier. If they do not
come to us from strong, healthy,
functioning families, it makes our
job more important.
42. Children are like wet cement,
whatever falls on them makes
an impression.
- Haim Ginott
43. The test of a good teacher is
not how many questions he
can ask his pupils that they
will answer readily, but how
many questions he inspires
them to ask him which he
finds it hard to answer.
44. Teaching kids to count is
fine, but teaching them
what counts is best.
-Bob Talbert
45. The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher
demonstrates. The great
teacher inspires.
46. Education is not the filling
of a pail, but the lighting of
a fire.
47. If we teach today’s students
as we taught yesterday’s, we
rob them of tomorrow.
John Dewey
48. It is the supreme art of the
teacher to awaken joy in
creative expression and
knowledge.
49. If a child can’t learn the
way we teach, maybe we
should teach the way they
learn.
50. As a general rule, teachers
teach more by what they
are than by what they say.
56. " A good teacher is one who
can understand those who
are not very good at
explaining, and explains to
those who are not very good
at understanding."
57.
58. " A teacher is the
flame that lights the
path of a child."

99. Top 3 Traits of an
Effective Teacher:
(based on a 50-year study
published by
EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP)
110. I have come to a frightening
conclusion
I am the decisive element
in the classroom
111. It is my personal approach
that creates the climate
It is my daily mood
that makes the weather..
112. As a teacher
I possess a
tremendous power
To make a child’s life……
Miserable or joyous
113. I can be
a tool of torture
or an instrument
of inspiration
I can humiliate
or humor
Hurt or
heal.
114. In all situations,
it is my response that decides
whether a crisis
will be escalated
or de-escalated
And a child
humanized
Or dehumanized.
- Haim Ginott
119. Poorly chosen words can stifle
enthusiasm, dampen spirits,
and be both offensive and
hurtful. In short, they can
poison the atmosphere.
- Prof. Erwin Hall
152. Never let the demands of your
job cause you to forget that
each one of your students is a
feeling- thinking human being.
For education to be effective, it
must be personal.
- George Isaac Brown
153. The deepest urge in human
nature is the desire to be
important.
- John Dewey
156. If manners were an animal, it
would be an endangered
species.
- Henry Rogers
157. STUDENTS WILL FORGET
MOST OF WHAT YOU TEACH
THEM, BUT WILL REMEMBER
HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL
IN YOUR CLASS!
158. Teachers are not in private
practice. We are in the
helping and caring
profession, a service
profession to help people
enhance the quality of their
lives.
159. One hundred years from
now it will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much I had in the bank account,
Or what my clothes looked like.
But the world will be a better
place because I was important
in the life of a child.
