This presentation discusses the importance of passion for teachers. It argues that teaching is a noble profession that people choose out of passion, not obligation. The only way for teachers to do their best work is to teach subjects they are passionate about. Passionate teachers love their field of knowledge and are driven to help students discover their own motivations for learning. For teachers to inspire passion in students, teachers must themselves be passionate learners who read, write, and learn in front of their students. Passion is more than a trainable skill - it requires commitment, curiosity, and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge.
