Teaching Quotations | Page 15

A lot of what we are teaching is already offered at the home schools.

Almost all these classes are where the people teaching them love the program. We built them up ourselves, we know they're important and are committed to them. (The school district) has us in a bad position, you don't want to wreck what you helped make.

A lot of people had an influence on me when I was growing up, pointing me in the right direction and teaching me to make good decisions.

A lot of it was just going back to the basics of what good teaching looks like.

They taught us because they wanted to pass the knowledge on and educate young musicians. It was not because they had to teach because they failed as musicians. There is a huge difference in the reasons why someone is teaching and what they can offer and what they cannot offer.

They've come around and that's what we've been teaching and preaching ? playing together and doing the things that we know how to do, getting people in the right places.

Sometimes a game like this isn't bad. It allows some teaching points, and it allows us to recognize what happened here.

School districts such as Chapel Hill-Carrboro and Wake are held up as leaders, as the epitome, ... Lee County is doing very well. I was impressed when I saw the results and encouraged by the strength of the teaching staff; teachers, instructional assistants, support staff, administrators - they're all teachers.

Teaching and learning go hand and hand and to achieve student learning I believe that it is essential to engage the students. To achieve this, I make use of video, computer animations, PowerPoint and any other multimedia tool I can find. If you engage the class, active learning will follow.

Teaching and learning is going forward at NYU. Classes are meeting. There's very, very little disruption.

Teaching and parenting have always gone hand-in-hand in helping to develop young people's ability to make good choices as they move into young adulthood. Providing a simple, easy-to-use program for schools that reinforces character development benefits children at every age.

Teaching does allow me to keep one foot in the youthful waters I tend to occupy in my novels, so I'm thankful for that. My students also remind me on a daily basis that the stories I collected during my district attorney days are actually interesting to people who haven't had that experience.

Teaching in the district and a two-minute commute to practice had a lot to do with (leaving UA). I was living in Worthington and my kids were going to school there. It was an opportunity to start your own thing. You get to start all the traditions, pick the uniforms. Who wouldn't want to do that?

Teaching is a great complement to writing. It's very social and gets you out of your own head. It's also very optimistic. It renews itself every year - it's a renewable resource.

Teaching is a truly noble profession. It's sad the amount of responsibility that teachers have today. They're not only teaching kids: they're raising kids, policing kids - and they don't make a lot of money.

Teaching is more than imparting knowledge, it is inspiring change.Learning is more than absorbing facts, it is acquiring understanding.

Teaching kept my life as normal as it could be.

Teaching kids what to do when the unexpected arises is the most important training,

Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart.

Teaching reading is rocket science, ... You need somebody in each of these schools who knows how to do it, and that reading specialist has to be looked at as sacred ground, not as someone who can be pulled out every time you need a classroom covered.

Teaching second grade well is just as important as teaching college sophomore (year) well. In some ways, it may be more important.

Teaching Spanish is such a wonderful opportunity. I have so much to share with them because of my background.

Teaching was my first job after leaving university. It was a challenge, but I enjoyed it. Some of the kids were disruptive, but I could deal with it because I was only 24 at the time, and my own school memories were still fresh.

Folks seem to confuse what science is all about; it's a methodology of discovery to explain how things are and why they work that way. Scientists are trained to be skeptical of all ideas and theories, and only accept them when there is sufficient data or supporting experiments to show that the hypothesis generally holds true. Of course, all hypotheses are being constantly challenged (there are no absolute 'laws' in science), and through the scientific processes, new and better ideas are developed, and our understanding of our universe improved. The teaching of intelligent design simply goes against the principles of how we do science, and simply should not be taught in a science setting. ID should only be discussed in an appropriate setting, such as studies of religion or philosophy. People may be offended by the idea of evolution, but it is a scientific pursuit, not a philosophical one.

Ever since then, I tried to do everything I can and coach G has been working with me and teaching me a lot of new things. I've just been listening to everything he has been telling me and taking it all in and just keep trying to repeat everything he tells me and try to put it in my game to take it to the next level every day.

Evangelicals, through their own scholarship as well as the support and encouragement of such bodies as Tyndale Fellowship, the John Wesley Fellowship and, to a lesser extent, the Institute for Biblical Research, have been able to secure positions in academic institutions beyond those traditionally regarded as evangelical. This includes folks teaching at major public and private universities.

Eric loves to visit antique shops and I do too. It's always been a love for both of us and his aunt was an antique dealer. We've always talked about doing something with antiques and teaching people to identify what they have and so I said, 'let's go for it!' It's also to introduce people to the art of being able to assess what it is that you have. People go out and frequent these garage sales and the antique shops and sometimes they just see something that's pretty, but they have no idea what the value is.

There's instability of enrollment, health issues, teachers teaching out of field, high teacher turnover, low parent education.

There's a freshman who Aaron has taken under his wing. He's done an excellent job with him, teaching him the game. In a way, he's kind of taken over the team and made it his own.

Everything we know in biology agrees with Darwin's theory of evolution in a broad sense, and the theory is tested probably 1000 times a day in various laboratories without anyone going out to test it. They (the American-funded movement to foist intelligent design teaching onto science teachers in Australia) really want a science teacher who may well be atheistic anyway, introducing the concept of God into science. It's a ridiculous idea and has no place in science teaching.

There's kind of atypical rational if you will, ... It wasn't just about football. We were taking care of consequences that you have to face when you don't do things exactly right, and I thought we took care of that teaching moment and did what we had to do for the good of the individual. You just have to press forward and do whatever you can with the circumstances you have, so no, I don't have any regrets on how we handled it.

There's no point starting later because we need the teaching time.

There's no reason, in today's digital world, that we can't have a program here that has students making movies just as well as someone in Los Angeles or New York City. Location means little anymore with digital media. What students need to have are the tools to be competitive in the industry, and the teaching to know how to tell a good story. We can do those things as well as anybody.

The PlayStation, $300 with a DVD-player and it runs Linux and Java, it's huge. Why would you ever put a PC someplace? It breaks all the time. You would spend more time fixing it than teaching (how to use it). These things (the PlayStation consoles) are designed for 12-year-olds and are really powerful.

With Butch every little thing like bending your arm 90 degrees, he's filming it. We're trying to soak him in like a sponge. He has so much knowledge and passion for teaching people to run properly.

This is about teaching kids lessons. The potential game coming up was not the ultimate. The ultimate was the student-athlete.

A few weeks ago, a few moments ago, whatever, I had made my decision that I wasn't going to come back for another year of coaching at Idaho State. It's time for a new voice for this program, for a new direction, a new teaching of the game.

A decision was made to ensure that this substitute will not be teaching in any of our schools in Prince George's County.

You sit down afterward and you talk about it. 'Well, what could I have done here?' ... He's like a mirror for your teaching practice.

This is basically how I've always done my teaching for the past 35 years. That's what I like about this program. I always said, 'No dead time.' You got to keep it high energy and dynamic.

This is a tool, the exhibition is a tool for teaching evolution. It's not necessarily that we're shying away from intelligent design or creationism, but that's not what we do.

This is fabulous, fantastic. Compared to when I was in high school, this is so meticulous. The teachers must really have a knack for teaching the kids how to do art.

This is such a fabulous opportunity where a student that wants to gain an in-depth knowledge of another country can do so while teaching and learning.

This is not just a pilot course. We will be teaching air traffic management, safety science and physiology. Very few of the students will undertake flight training.

This is not teaching as we know it; only part of our learning comes from teaching. Much of it comes from curiosity. These are tools that can help cultivate that learning process.

In classrooms serving low-income and minority kids, it turns into teaching the test. The test becomes the curriculum. Because of concerns that those kids are not going to pass, education becomes narrowed to the content of the test.

I left a message for him in Copiague, where he was teaching at the time. I told him we had some openings and asked if he was interested.

I like a fast tempo in practice but we have to slow some things down. We're teaching the players when to go hard and when you can back off. We're lean everywhere. We have just seven offensive linemen and the defensive line has had injuries. Running back and linebacker have the most depth and that isn't a ton right now.

I joined the Wildlife Conservation Society, working there, in 1995, but I started working with them as a student in 1991. I was appointed as a teaching assistant at my university because I accomplished with honor.

I keep stressing that last year put everything in perspective. I felt like football was my whole life. When it was taken away from me, I felt the Lord was teaching me a lesson to not put all my eggs in one basket. ... That's why I am enjoying playing.

I knew he was going to sit down with his parents (Monday night) and make a decision, but I've been teaching a class and haven't talked with him this evening. I've not heard of a final decision, but that doesn't mean one hasn't been made.

I'm teaching a couple of these guys how to punch. What I'm noticing is how many tickets they sold. I don't want to be too much of a diehard boxing purist.

I'm teaching them a lot of college stuff right now. The mechanics of how you pass rush; the mechanics of body weight of the offensive lineman; how they shift; how your footwork needs to be -- because a millimeter of a second is big in football.

I'm terrible at metaphors or analogies. I don't know the difference, actually, ... For me, acting is like your dad teaching you to ride a bicycle. You feel totally vulnerable at first. You imagine yourself getting hurt, and the only thing that prevents you from crashing is your dad is running after you, holding on to the back of your seat. You keep looking over your shoulder at him, and he's going, 'You're doing it, kid.' And then, all of a sudden, you're, like, 'Why are you still holding on, Dad? Let go.'

I'm worn out and my body hurts. I've never experienced in my life trying not to fall asleep in a race car. That was interesting. It was fantastic, though. Thanks to Mike Shank and the whole team at Mike Shank Racing, especially Mark Patterson for allowing myself and Justin this opportunity to get in such a great car and to Oswaldo for teaching us so much right away so we could get right after it. It was almost like I had almost driven the car before when I jumped in it; he just taught me so much.

I'm very excited about (White) coming to be our quarterback coach. I've been very impressed, and I've talked with him about his philosophy, his fundamentals and the teaching progression that a quarterback or a group of quarterbacks goes through. He'll do a fine job in that area.

I'm having a riot. This is great. I knew we had good kids when I came in. They just had to buy into what we were teaching them.

I'm hoping he's going to respond in the correct manner, and so far he has. I've always thought of every moment as a teaching moment. Unfortunately, sometimes teaching moments have to come in some adverse situations and circumstances.

I?m about to retire, been teaching for 34 years and have faithfully made contributions to the required retirement fund and I?m hoping when I finish my years of teaching that there will be money in the retirement fund for me.

I'm very interested in teaching kids and being a role model.

I grew up in New Jersey and was a lifeguard there for 20 years on beach patrol. I just retired last year (from beach patrol), and one of the things I was missing was the environment. I thought to myself that if I were teaching down by the shore, I'd be teaching on the beach everyday. How can I pull that off here? Then, I realized how close Nine Mile Run is to our school.

I had started teaching because I love brainteasers. At some point, I had taken every standardized test out there - the SATs, the GREs, the GMATs, the MCATs. I just took them for fun.

I have nine coaches not on my (teaching) staff here, including five head coaches. It's getting tough to run a program. ... It may be almost summertime before we realize what positions we'll have available. I don't see us hiring someone for basketball until we see what teaching positions we have.

I love dogs. I absolutely adore them. When I'm teaching in Mexico, I rescue dogs from the streets and make my students adopt them.

In teaching color, you teach people how to look something and see the tone in it and break it down to be able to paint it and reproduce that color. But then, I'm psychedelic, so I look at color differently. I like colors that are in contrast with one another, so that they flicker back and forth.
