Robert John Meehan "As teachers we spend little time focusing on what has been accomplished; we focus mainly on what remains to be done."-‐ "As a teacher you have to be committed to learning for a lifetime first before you can lead your students down that path "Learning becomes relevant when we connect it with reality." "A great teacher is someone who can learn from his students, who can learn with them, and learns for them "I seldom needed to encourage my students to follow their dreams, I simply gave my students the tools and as much freedom as they needed to chase after them "If we are truly effective teachers, then we are creating autonomous, independent, and self directed learners."-‐ "If real learning is to take place, our classrooms must be dependent on the collaboration of its learners, not solely on the knowledge of its teachers." Robert John Meehan

Learning -‐ school -‐ knowledge -‐imagination "Those that make test scores and grades the heart of education hit their targets while entirely missing the point." -‐ Joe Bower "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."-‐ Albert Einstein "Standardized Testing tells us about learning as much as Reality TV tells us about reality."-‐ Joe Bower "The greatest sign of a success for a teacher, is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."-‐ Maria Montessori "The teachers who get "burned out" are not the ones who are constantly learning, which can be exhilarating, but those who feel they must stay in control and ahead of the students at all times."-‐ Frank Smith
