It's a tremendous teaching tool and it's going to give our students hands-on, practical experience.

It's a time for us to remember the people that have dedicated their lives to changing lives, to guiding children. They of course are teachers. And they have to be jazzed about teaching to keep up the inspiration and the motivation that creates excellent in our classrooms.

It was fun and I learned a lot, but I knew I wanted to be in the classroom and teaching as well. A college coach is full-time and you are on the road recruiting. I learned a lot and brought it to high school level.

We sort of watch the profession, the new sub-specialties as they develop, and then we decide to publish a textbook. The brand is a way of entry. When one is talking to a professor who is going to be teaching this course, they're going to know the Mosby brand.

We spend a lot of time teaching them about collaboration and in establishing one coaching approach. While everyone has his own coaching style, we want some structure to the coaching. For example, the primary assumption is that every operator wants to work safely. The job of the coach is to work with employees so they work safely. The emphasis is on working collaboratively, rather than dictatorially.

We talk to them about science, aerodynamics, weather, math, and geography. We apply everything we do with flying to what they do in the classroom. It's also about having goals and accomplishing goals. It incorporates not only the teaching part of it but also working hard to accomplish your goals.

What teachers do best is to teach kids to think, to understand, how to learn and where to find information. Teaching to a test designed by some bureaucrat isn't what made our country strong.

It's a good teaching day, a fundamentals day, and an evaluation day. And there's a lot to evaluate. We have eight defensive starters back, but we have a new system, so we're looking for the guys with the athletic ability to help out there. We're sorting personnel, getting to know the freshmen, and figuring out where players can best fit in the program.

It's a fine line. The first thing we have to ask is this question: Is our behavior supporting our children in becoming responsible adults, or enabling them, teaching them not to be responsible?

It's about teaching life skills and easing the transition after graduation. Not all athletes are going pro-in fact, very few are, ...

It's hard to reconcile the scientific principles of freedom of exploration, testing hypotheses and evaluating evidence with the tyrannical rhetoric coming from some scientific elites who want to squelch the teaching of intelligent design alongside evolutionary theory.

It's been a crazy year. Last Friday was a real tough one against Briggs. Right now I'm happy with the effort, but it comes down to fundamentals. One thing we're working on is team unity, and we've been working on dribbling skills and just basketball awareness. We're also going to be bringing up some (junior varsity) kids. The next couple weeks are important in terms of the teaching we do.

It's a very grueling process. It's very difficult . . . it shows exemplary teaching. It's a master teaching level.

It's been a fun first half. It's been tough at times. You go through growing pains (being) so young. For the most part, I've had a great time teaching these guys and trying to make them understand how this game, in my mind, should be played, and they're doing a great job.

It's been a good teaching tool for us. And the players like it. I've never had one beg out of a drill.

It means a lot to me that someone who knows the game so much and has been around the game for so long has that much faith in me.

It's not easy to have that responsibility.

There's a real relief that we can get back to the job of teaching. The emotional level was getting quite high.

The relationship with the 49ers Academy started before we got here. Denise and I both love coming here to be part of teaching the kids.

I believe in the ISAT and teaching to that test, but my worry is that it will be changed drastically enough that teachers may not recognize it and our students will be at a disadvantage, ... But if we can have a better test to assess the kids, it should be done.

I am not opposed to all military activities, like in Hurricane Katrina and natural disasters like that, ... But the recruiting process, I think, can be dishonest and some of the violent acts in the military have not been addressed by the (mainstream) news. A lot of problems could be solved if (the military) started teaching tolerance and getting rid of stereotypes.

I believe in teaching as a real job. I don't think it's a substitute for anything else. It's been shown to me that teachers can help, and the writing today is just as good as it was when I started out. Technology hasn't changed that.

However, with more projects on the table, I am teaching myself to delegate and rely on a good team of professionals to lighten the load.

I couldn't be prouder of four guys. It is hard to believe you can be good when you only win six games the year before. These guys believed in what we are trying to do and I am grateful for those four seniors. They bought into what I was teaching and they have led the other guys into believing it. It is because of that leadership we turned things around this year.

I applaud schoolteachers, librarians, and most of all, our parents, for their commitment to teaching America's children the joys of reading.

I double majored in English education and theater with a musical theater minor. Teaching is the only thing that makes me as happy as performing.

I doubt the terrorists saw 9/11 as a teaching opportunity. And we're not really a culture geared to anything as humble as 'learning.'

I do good in the world - at least I try to. I speak on behalf of women, and I know I have made the lives of women happier as a result of teaching them what I have learned relative to true health rather than disease care.

He called to thank me for teaching him what I taught him in order to be able to do what he did at the restaurant. It was just incredible. And as an instructor you can't get a better compliment than that, when somebody in the civilian world takes what they learn in a four-hour C.P.R. class and actually uses it to save someone's life.

School prepares for the alienating institutionalization of life by teaching the need to be taught. Once this lesson is learned, people lose their incentive to grow in independence; they no longer find relatedness attractive, and close themselves off to the surprises which life offers when it is not predetermined by institutional definition.

School is an institution built on the axiom that learning is the result of teaching. And institutional wisdom continues to accept this axiom, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

The pupil is ... 'schooled' to confuse teaching with learning, grade advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new.

It is really an alienation to believe that learning is the result of teaching.

Most learning is not the result of instruction. It is rather the result of unhampered participation in a meaningful setting. Most people learn best by being "with it," yet school makes them identify their personal, cognitive growth with elaborate planning and manipulation.

Nothing is better for my playing than teaching because when you teach, you have to think and you have to listen what other people do. And then all of a sudden, you play yourself and then you say, my goodness, I don't need a teacher. I'm my own teacher. Then I can react to what I'm doing immediately. It really improves.

He wrote:“Husain Haqqani, a thoughtful Pakistani scholar now teaching at Boston University, remarked to me: 'When people like myself say American values must be emulated and America is a bastion of freedom, we get Guantánamo Bay thrown in our faces. When we talk about the America of Jefferson and Hamilton, people back home say to us: 'That is not the America we are dealing with. We are dealing with the America of imprisonment without trial.'

I wish to be of service to the artists of our own day, by showing them how a small beginning leads to the highest elevation, and how from so noble a situation it is possible to fall to utmost ruin, and consequently, how these arts resemble nature as shown in our human bodies.

That's what misbehavior is all about, just a little extra loving being asked for.

He who influences the thought of his times, influences all the times that follow. He has made his impress on eternity.

Being a wrestling coach is the hardest job I've ever done. It's harder than teaching, harder than going to Stanford, it's mentally and physically draining and after five years I was worn out. That tells a big tale about how much energy and passion a coach like Bert has. He did it for 25 years.

God’s grace in saving miserable sinners has been replaced by heretical teaching, such as saying that it is because we are so valuable that Christ came to redeem us. Not all who hold self-esteem views go so far, but many do.

Religious teachings and teachers have conditioned us to think of faith as a magic catalyst that makes God work for us. In no way does faith make God work nor does it release some kind of miracle power. Faith simply tunes into and turns on the divine flow that has always been present

Teaching which ignores the realities of children will be rejected as surely as any graft which attempts to ignore the body's immune system.

We've got to do fewer things in school. The greatest enemy of understanding is coverage... You've got to take enough time to get kids deeply involved in something so they can think about it in lots of different ways and apply it.

What we want... is for students to get more interested in things, more involved in them, more engaged in wanting to know; to have projects that they can get excited about and work on over long periods of time, to be stimulated to find things out on their own.

If Confucius can serve as the Patron Saint of Chinese education, let me propose Socrates as his equivalent in a Western educational context - a Socrates who is never content with the initial superficial response, but is always probing for finer distinctions, clearer examples, a more profound form of knowing. Our concept of knowledge has changed since classical times, but Socrates has provided us with a timeless educational goal - ever deeper understanding.

It may well be easier to remember a list if one sings it (or dances to it). However, these uses of the 'materials' of an intelligence are essentially trivial. What is not trivial is the capacity to think musically.

I wanted to be a part of history and not just a recorder and teacher of history. So that kind of attitude towards history, history itself as a political act, has always informed my writing and my teaching.

I don't know if I'm teaching my kids right, but you have to go with your own instincts. You can't be so sure that other people are going to do right by you.

It is the moral element contained in it that alone gives value and dignity to a religion, and only in so far as its teachings serve to stimulate and purify our moral aspirations does it deserve to retain its ascendency over mankind.

Divorce isn't such a tragedy. A tragedy's staying in an unhappy marriage, teaching your children the wrong things about love. Nobody ever died of divorce.

Good teaching is forever being on the cutting edge of a child's competence.

Teaching is the canny art of intellectual temptation

The young child approaching a new subject or anew problem is like the scientist operating at the edge of his chosen field.

It is sentimentalism to assume that the teaching of life can always be fitted to the child's interests, just as it is empty formalism to force the child to parrot the formulas of adult society. Interests can be created and stimulated.

We carry with us habits of thought and taste fostered in some nearly forgotten classroom by a certain teacher.

Knowledge is the consequence of time, and multitude of days are fittest to teach wisdom.

I went to the University of Minnesota to study art. I left the university to come to New York and live in Soho. I got involved with like a small kind of like experimental theater-mime company and we discovered that Étienne Decroux, a great mime, was still teaching in Paris so I went to study with him for several years.
