You're cutting off one possible way of encouraging a global education for your faculty.

Ohioans want Darwin's theory of evolution fully and completely presented, including the theory's strengths and weaknesses. The public is solidly behind the approach to teaching evolution that the Ohio state board of education has already adopted. Those attacking the school board for supporting teaching both the evidence for and against evolution don't represent the views of the majority of Ohioans.

I've heard a number of our alumni - people who are running schools and school systems - think a lot about different models for the teaching profession.

Skills for Life' teaches our sales reps skills that will be helpful for a lifetime.

Skip is one of my mentors. I get a lot of my ideas from other teachers, so I have lots of teachers to thank. The thing about teaching is, I constantly get to learn.

I'm happiest when I'm teaching people; I just love it.

Sun has been hosting the WWERC for more than 20 years in order to bring together education thought leaders to discuss the evolution of education and the role technology plays in enhancing global learning, teaching and research.

The best argument for teaching poetry is to put a three-year-old or a four-year-old and read Dr. Seuss, or Robert Louis Stevenson, and to feel how the child and you are engaging in something that's really basic to the animal, which is passing on in these rhythmic ways, something that came from somewhere.

The best thing is the team targets children with information on how to keep themselves safe. After teaching a class, instructors ask children to write them a note. This gives children a chance to tell someone what happened to them without it being public knowledge in the classroom in front of their peers. It also gives the team a chance to make sure the children received (the information) all right.

It's real troubling. Not just with youngsters that it becomes newsworthy, but with any kids who don't go the direction you know they're capable of or hope for them. It's one of the tough things when you compete. Sometimes things work out and you're successful and sometimes it doesn't. That doesn't have you back off from competing and teaching and trying to help people.

It's really a teaching gallery. I think it's important that faith stories be told.

It's really nice to see him mature and handle pressure and try to be a positive influence to everyone who is around him. I think he is getting there. That's the joy of teaching high school kids, seeing that maturity when you have seen them struggle in the past and then they get it together their senior year.

Notre Dame will provide an alternative for the 21st century - a place of higher learning that plays host to world-changing teaching and research, but where technical knowledge does not outrun moral wisdom, where the goal of education is to help students live a good human life, where our restless quest to understand the world not only lives in harmony with faith but is strengthened by it,

Anytime you can use real life examples in teaching is a positive experience for the students. Studying the cars on the track and translating the data from runs will help the students learn how calculus has many uses.

This is just a great group of ladies to work with. They older girls have done a great job leading this team and they do a good job teaching the younger girls.

It's night and day. That evening we spent in there to this afternoon that we're talking right now. There's no one clear reason why. It's a lot of things together. Some of it is re-doing the foundation. The teaching portions are in place and the young kids are able to apply them and lead within them. The other part is the seniors have answered the bell and are stepping up and being vocal leaders. That's a huge part of it. With those two things working together, there's not much that can stop this group.

It's not about teaching me how to play quarterback. It's about making us understand what we're trying to get done that week.

Does spending more per student lead to increased learning? That's a difficult one. At many schools, the faculty is being paid for its research abilities, not its teaching skills.

Do I feel like they are threatening us, and are going to give us a hard time? ... Absolutely, it doesn't matter who we are playing. I don't think it is because of who we have playing, I think they have a loaded up offense. They have a really good philosophy with how they run their offense. I don't think it has to do with our personnel right now. That isn't what I am concerned about. I am concerned about teaching the game plan, and executing it well so we can hopefully give them some problems. I feel pretty much the same every week about that.

It's possibly true that all you need is a chance, but there's a typical path coaches follow. In terms of the coaching part, handling players at practice, teaching the schemes of football, I don't think that would change a bit no matter what. But recruiting is much different.

It sounded like something I wanted to try. I called up the (national) biathlon coach and asked if he was interested in teaching me how to shoot, and he was.

Example, not precept, is the best teaching aid.

At times, the fishing part of it becomes very secondary. Any time we are not fishing a tournament, we are a representative of Tracker Marine. We are out there teaching people how to fish and promoting the product. The business part of it is a big part of our job. A lot of young guys ask me, 'I want to be a bass pro; how do I get there?' I tell them to hone their business skills and public speaking. The sponsors want someone who can help them sell product.

The landscape of achievement has changed dramatically. Since 1997, the increase in standards and in quality of teaching and learning has been dramatic and sustained.

I guess it's like having two or three jobs. It's a lot of hours, but it's fun. Teaching and coaching, you don't do if for the money. Sure, it pays the bills but it's mostly for fun if you really think about it.

I had been frustrated for my first 11 or 12 years that I hadn't been doing enough in the area of teaching values through sports. In 1978, the word 'We' popped into my head. . . . I really feel like 'We' is an answer to almost anything. It is the essence of humanity. Where are our greatest joys? Family and friends. The greatest hurts in life are the absence of 'We.' It's the best way to play the game, but also the best way to live.

I had been teaching all day when I found out. My brain was not working. I was very surprised because I had already won twice, and didn't think it would happen a third time. I really feel honored to be respected as a leader in the teaching community and also in my community at large.

In one century we went from teaching Latin and Greek in high school to offering remedial English in college

I noticed, a long time ago, you can engage kids a lot more with a screen.

It was an experiment, and I have been teaching this class (advanced communications) ever since.

In Texas, we have two of the highest paid superintendents in the United States, from Klein I.S.D. and Cypress-Fairbanks I.S.D. They are the third highest paid in the United States.

I just felt much more comfortable at MICA. They have a great teaching program and they make me feel at home. It's here that I found my voice as an artist and progressed in my art because of the program. It's the best decision I've ever made.

I have written more than 100 novels and novellas since 1983 - I was first published in 1985. There was an overlap of three years with my teaching career, but finally I felt good enough about my writing career to quit teaching and write full time.

In the middle of my fourth year teaching is when I got my book contract - in 2010. I knew the book would come out in May 2011.

I really enjoy teaching in the classroom. I don't know if I can teach the same grade or the same subject matter for the next 30 years - I'm not necessarily that type of person. I recently graduated from UT with a masters in education, administration and supervision, so it's opened up the possibility of moving on to becoming a principal or serving in some other administrative capacity. I'll always be in education in some way.

I really enjoy teaching the game, first and foremost. I do a lot of speaking appearances around the country and because of Celebrity Poker Showdown people around the world have written me asking for help with their game. After I got a great response to my first book, I decided to give it a shot.

I really enjoy the teaching part of the game. Perhaps even more than I do playing.

I really like the way we finished the meet. We had an extremely young team, and it is nice to finish strong. It is a good sign for our future. We have some good young talent. Our seniors did a wonderful job of leading and teaching this year. I am proud of the team. We are close enough to be competitive in the future.

If you start a child off at age 5, by the time he gets to 10 or 12 he's better prepared to play tackle football. He's not afraid to play. He's not intimidated by contact, so it really makes a lot of sense to start a child off from a young age, teaching him the fundamentals of football. That's what we want to do. We want to teach our kids the rules of football.

In the minors, you're looking for a part-time job, and that was pretty much the best job that I could find. I had my degree, and I got my emergency teaching certificate. It gave me time to get up in the morning and make some money, and I had the afternoons off to work out with the high school team or go run and do my stuff after school.

In Toronto you could say we created our breaks; tonight you could say Ottawa created theirs. Our major problem was reading the rush. Their defensemen were beating our fourth and fifth guys into the zone all night long. We'll likely watch this tape ... and use it as a teaching tool for our group. They're a very good team. I don't think you'll learn too much from this tape watching our team.

If you want to learn something about fly fishing, there's somebody that knows something about every aspect. We're a teaching club.

By the time a kid goes to college, if he's taking math or science, at least he knows, or you hope he knows, some basics. But if you're teaching history in college, you have a lot of damage to undo. You basically have to start over because so much of what a kid has already learned is just wrong.

Turning against the church I also had to turn against a lot of the teachings of people in my family who were very much of the church and caught in it, and every time I turned to find where resides the good in the church, all I saw was the demonic, the Lucifer of the journey.

How much it is to be regretted, that the British ladies should ever sit down contented to polish, when they are able to reform; to entertain, when they might instruct; and to dazzle for an hour, when they are candidates for eternity!

I'll just miss talking to him. He was such a good teacher in everything. No matter what the conversation was about, he was always teaching me. I just loved talking to him. I can't begin to think how hard that's going to be without him. I know he left a mark on me, just like he did on everyone that knew him.

I love the fact that they have a new coach. We just clicked automatically. (Coach Stubbs) was a friend of my club coach (Tyrone Jenkins). They have the same teaching techniques.

Miserable indeed is that religious teaching which calls itself Christian, and yet contains nothing of the cross.

I wished I could explain it to those I loved, my mother, to Japhy, but there just weren't any words to describe the nothingness and purity of it.

Let us serve Him faithfully as our Master. Let us obey Him loyally as our King. Let us study His teachings as our Prophet. Let us work diligently after Him as our Example. Let us look anxiously for Him as our coming redeemer of body as well as soul. But above all let us prize Him as our Sacrifice, and rest our whole weight on His death as atonement for sin. Let His blood be more precious in our eyes every year we live. Whatever else we glory in about Christ, let us glory above all things in His cross.

I really missed it, especially working with the kids. I love teaching them, helping them rise to the occasion and win big games.

He's really beginning to grasp the concepts we've been teaching him as far as how to read routes and when to throw. He's a very good athlete and a smart kid. He's developing well.

How could I dare do something like this if I say I believe in God? I can do that because I believe there are two separate issues here. One is the teaching of good science. The other is the teaching of creationism and I think that is important, too, but I think that should be taught in any other class or at church or at home ... not in science class.

What thrust us into war were not Hitler's political teachings: the cause, this time, was his successful attempt to establish a new economy. The causes of the war were: envy, greed, and fear.

I have spent forty-five years teasing out the universal principles of success that are necessary to create massive breakthroughs. I am committed to teaching and disseminating those around the world. I also believe that most transformational leaders are focusing too much on outer techniques and overlooking the important inner qualities of beingness and presence that are required to create real and lasting transformation in the world.

Thich Nhat Hanh has the ability to express some of the most profound teachings of interdependence and emptiness I've ever heard. With the eloquence of a poet, he holds up a sheet of paper and teaches us that the rain cloud and the tree and the logger who cut the tree down are all there in the paper. He's been one of the most significant carriers of the lamp of the dharma to the West that we have had.

Buddhist teachings are not a religion, they are a science of mind.

Arminianism is 'natural' in one sense, in that it represents a characteristic perversion of Biblical teaching by the fallen mind of man.

God's ways do not change... Still he shows his freedom and lordship by discriminating between sinners, causing some to hear the gospel while others do not hear it, and moving some of those who hear it to repentance while leaving others in their unbelief, thus teaching his saints that hew owes mercy to none and that it is entirely of his grace, not at all through their own effort, that they themselves have found life.

The infallibility and inerrancy of biblical teaching does not, however, guarantee the infallibility and inerrancy of any interpretation or interpreter of that teaching; nor does the recognition of its qualities as the Word of God in any way prejudge the issue as to what Scripture does, in fact, assert. This can be determined only by careful Bible study.

Infallible denotes the quality of never deceiving or misleading and so means wholly trustworthy and reliable; inerrant means wholly true. Scripture is termed infallible and inerrant to express the conviction that all its teaching is the utterance of God who cannot lie, whose word, once spoken, abides for ever, and that therefore it may be trusted implicitly.

What is less often noticed is that it is precisely the kind of moral instruction that parents are constantly trying to give their children — concrete, imaginative, teaching general principles from particular instances, and seeking all the time to bring the children to appreciate and share the parent's own attitudes and view of life… The all-embracing principles of conduct

I asked him what, if anything, got him down about teaching. He said he didn't think that anything about it got him exactly down, but there was one thing, he thought, that frightened him: reading the pencilled notations in the margins of books in the college library.

For Nick, the game, basically, is convincing people. It's getting people to look at things your way. That's the big game in life, and that's what he's teaching his son. That's what he and his friends talk about when they get together. He's not defending cigarettes so much as he's defending his right to defend cigarettes.

He's a perfect example of what we've let slip away in the image of a coach - the job is a teaching job, ... Bill certainly has a great deal of self-confidence, but he's got the humility to know that he can always learn from somebody that's successful. To me, the smarter you are, the more you want to learn.

He's like a big brother -- I've never had one, ... He's been teaching me ever since I got here, even in the summer. I use him and take advantage as much as I can.

I spent a lot of time teaching myself theory and harmony so I could be free to express myself on the instrument.

I grew up in England at a time when England was winning Nobel Prizes right and left. I mean it was amazing how many Nobel Prizes England was winning in chemistry and physics and biology and all the sciences and at that time the teaching of science in the schools was really lousy.
