Teaching Quotations | Page 9

Regardless of the outcome of a Friday night game, each Saturday morning, Kyle could be found teaching our youngsters the fundamentals of the game.

Sure I'd like to get them a win, but we basically started from scratch and have a lot of girls who never even played the game before. So I'm really concentrating on teaching them the basics of the game right now.

Sure, I'm impressed. It's all a matter of players believing in the system that's put on the field. Tim's approach is a positive one. He's very decisive in his teaching methods and his approach to game plan. He believes the plan will succeed, and that the players who execute it will give us a chance to win.

Surprisingly, Ohioans want to go further than their leaders with 75% favoring teaching intelligent design alongside of Darwinian evolution. Even after all the attacks on intelligent design by the dogmatic Darwin-only lobby, the public clearly wants to know more about the theory and make up their own minds.

Photojournalism provokes conversation and thought, which all good journalism should do. The exhibition provides an excellent teaching opportunity, fostering discussion about how we cover events of our time and the needs of society, while talking about the profession and craft of journalism.

Previously, Pope John Paul has taken a position on capital punishment . . . and given clear teaching on the value of all human life, not just innocent human life.

Our nation's education system already faces severe budget constraints and a shortage of resources. We shouldn't be diverting resources away from teaching to pay off bogus patent threats.

Our new home improvement series will inspire and inform, while mentoring and teaching valuable life skills, from repairing brickwork, laying flooring, painting rooms and installing a functional and lovely kitchen,

Our offensive line has come a long way since the beginning of the season. They are finally starting to come around and get a handle on what we are teaching them.

I saw what they did with their big man as far as teaching him and helping him gain weight and get stronger. Coach Huggins has gotten a lot of players to the NBA. I think he can get another one there.

I saw a lot of teaching and coaching going on by my veterans and a lot of quick learning by my freshmen.

I saw an advertisement to work for a Swedish institute in Karachi in Pakistan. I had just been offered a permanent assignment, teaching in Oulu. But I felt, 'My God, I am not going to stay here forever.' You know why? Because I was following international events.

I see apostasy in many ways occurring in Evangelical churches that really aren't teaching the truth of God's word. I do believe that some churches have become entertainment centers and a teaching a type of prosperity Gospel rather than teaching God's word.

I will feel comfortable again teaching what I'd always felt comfortable teaching.

I will get all My people near Me, for they are Mine, and I am theirs. Then, I will start teaching and training them, until they become entirely ego-free. For the last 25 years, it has all been sweetness, kindness, soft persuasion; hereafter, it will be different. I will drag them, place them on the table and operate. That is to say, I have no anger or hate. I have only Love.

Jay's teaching style will perhaps be, as some would say, a little more fair and balanced on a minute-to-minute basis. When you put out one side, put out the other then and there.

Opening day is always exciting. We have a talented group of players and if we do the right things and do the things we've been teaching them in spring training, we'll be all right.

Jameson is a literature professor but his teaching is based on an uninformed opinion. All he's done is wield ideologies out of a 19th-century theory.

My wife had been teaching, on and off, since the early '70s and, when we moved here in 1983, she restarted her teaching career in Fairfax County, ... I got into Northern Virginia's Cultural Arts program, doing storytelling at school assemblies.

John's breakthrough was a new way of teaching. He boiled all his knowledge into a system, and it just made teaching so much more efficient. John could walk a line of students and basically know a person's whole shot pattern from where the ball went after one swing. And then he would convey the information so that person could basically fix himself.

John was the smartest and most amazing comedian I've ever worked with. I think more than teaching me about acting or comedy, he taught me about life and the love of people and respect of people.

I think, for the most part, our coaches do a great job of teaching and we spend a lot of time on it in practice, at least a little bit of it every day so it stays with us. I think it shows we're a close team because we can count on each other and we know our teammates are going to be there on help side.

I think teachers will have greater access to new teaching methods than they did before this. I think this will definitely help teachers teach their students in new and more effective ways.

Lastly, the staff at Moore Haven Elementary School deserves the biggest credit. The staff had to pack up all their teaching materials, personal materials and school district materials at the end of the school year last year to be moved from the 64,000 plus square-foot facility, then they have come back on their own time to unpack all those materials and get their rooms back in order.

It is clear that teaching and learning is transforming these small schools, and it's time to turn up the heat on rigor, relevance and relationships inside the classrooms. This year's Leadership Institute is designed to be a catalyst for future growth for the small schools to ensure all students achieve success.

I think the faculty will discuss it in their classes. It's a teaching moment, a learning moment. People will refer to this for a period of years, but time always makes things fade after it goes out of context, I think people will choose something else.

It is madness that the federal government is still spending millions on teaching middle-aged bureaucrats how to pass language tests rather than sending young, enthusiastic recruits to the public service to work in another language and culture.

I think the thing that was behind his teaching was that life offered wonderful opportunities. As a result, these students have done remarkable things with their lives.

Parents teach their children stranger danger, but they also need to be teaching them about dealing with dogs.

Our primary function is teaching and research, and there's no good reason not to do that,

Over the time I've been recruiting in Memphis and West Tennessee, I've seen that the shooting is very good. Whoever is teaching these guys how to shoot is doing something right.

Our work ethic, the professionalism and experience of our staff all go into that (optimism). Everyone has responded well. Having fourth-period athletics this year makes all the difference in the world as far as teaching goes.

Our core business in athletics is about teaching and coaching.

I think I love teaching for the reason I love being in a rehearsal room,

I think primarily the reason we did better was we concentrated on teaching fewer players what to do. It kind of gets you every now and then, but I thought Sammie (Salazar) came in and did a really good job. That gave us a sixth man that we needed.

I think, reading the Grimm's fairy tales, they all have some sort of moral component to them, teaching you a lesson.

I wish I had 11 more like him. He is one of the type players that only come around every once in awhile. It has been a pleasure coaching and teaching him the last two years. He will be missed not only on the court, but off the court and in the classroom. He is an all-around good kid.

I think he attributes it to his teaching as a youth.

Katie Hogan, a teaching scholar, and Mary Farmer, our fellow and an award-winning teacher from Illinois, will discuss what they think future teachers should know and things you won't learn in class.

I think that they've just got some talent going to Lenoir-Rhyne from this area. And to be coming from South Central really means a lot to us. I think that with the young coaches teaching these guys and what they're going to teach, you're going to see some more guys walk through these doors and sign and do some things in the future.

I think that's a part of what motivates me in my teaching and writing. Once the Gospel feels mainstream and becomes a nicely organized, orchestrated belief system, frankly, I don't think there is even an attraction to the human spirit.

I think that's where the problem starts - is that we have put the onus on women to protect themselves instead of teaching men and boys that this is inappropriate behavior. If you focus only on the women, then you're doing what is called victim-blaming - and saying, somehow it's your fault that you got raped, and you need to prevent it.

I think it's really important for the kids to get the information and I'm really happy to be doing this. I just think that people are oblivious to the dangers of the water. If we start teaching kids early on, then I think it will definitely make an impact.

I think in the last quarter, neither team would use it on a teaching tape for defense. I know Gilbert Arenas gets credit, but he's Allen Iverson in a different package as far as body size and strength. He's competitive. He's quick. He attacks. He makes 3s.

I was born in Mexico because my father was teaching at a school in Mexico City. I was born during the third year he was there. And when I was 16, I returned to Mexico to learn Spanish.

I taught at Princeton and it was undergraduate and I much prefer teaching undergraduates to graduate students in writing programs.

It basically was a teaching session this year. It wasn't a thing where they came out and beat us up every day. We basically learned the position, and learned what we needed to do on every given play.

I think it helps focus students on being accountable for what they have to learn. It also focuses accountability back on teachers so that they are doing a good job teaching students what they need to know.

I take a real interest in the possibilities of teaching - including the practice of bringing creative writing, and serious reading, into the classroom. I am persuaded that since language is alive, much of the challenge has already been met by the poets and novelists we read.

It involved lots of changes in teaching techniques and we had to get the staff sold on the program.

I think we're at the point now where we need to start teaching this horse some different options. I hate to think he's one-dimensional.

We never taught him to sit. We spend hours teaching them to stand (for show).

We noticed in the first game that when she caught the ball, she didn't finish strong. So we used it not only as a teaching tool, but to motivate her. Tonight she played like a D-I player.

We need motivated educators, and bureaucrats aren't helping anything, ... If they prove motivated, dedicated educators, tenure should be awarded quickly. Why should the best teachers worry about whether they'll be teaching tomorrow?

Today's good-paying jobs demand not only strong academic skills, but also technical training and computer proficiency, ... While our area offers world-class four-year and advanced degrees, we fall far short when it comes to teaching basic job skills and preparing our young people to deal with new and emerging technologies.

Today's parents and teachers want internet safety tools and skills. We must get more actively involved in our children's use of new media and in teaching them to use the internet safely,

Today was a teaching day. We were able to spend the majority of our time on individual work with a corrective mindset. We had the opportunity to throw it around a little more and key on execution.

We were so busy teaching and promoting Imago, that we didn't give ourselves enough time.

The premise of 'Secret Coders' is reminiscent of 'Harry Potter.' An intrepid band of tweens stumbles upon a secret school, only instead of teaching magic, the school teaches coding.

We were just impressed with the environment and the community of it. We liked that they are teaching children to respect themselves, other people and the environment.

We were just people interested in getting at some truth and educating our children teaching them how to think and giving them the facts so that they could make informed decisions.

We were just talking about who was the fastest in uniform, and I said Mike West. He got a good jump and he was gone. That's why we've got him at receiver. We're just teaching him how to run routes now.

We were kind of going through a transition. I wanted to be home for my daughters more. Even though I had a degree in teaching I was working more in the marketing and public relations field, and the crazy hours get really rough when you have younger children.

It has been universally recognized, in all authentic teachings of mankind, that every being born into this world has to work, not merely to keep himself alive, but to strive towards perfection.

Those who always practice this teaching of Mine, with faith and free from cavil, are freed from the bondage of Karma.

Unfortunately, the proponents of censorship won out by inflaming false fears that this critical analysis lesson plan is the equivalent of teaching intelligent design.

We'll get on that relatively soon. We'll see if we can add it in with a teaching-type position. We will just test the waters.

We'll give them a hand up, not a hand down. We're teaching them to take care of themselves. I like to see them laugh, because laughter is good. I like to let them know someone cares.

We don't have enough teachers being generated by the teaching colleges, ... We have no choice but to go outside the traditional means of getting applicants.

We don't have high school graduates teaching our kids.

I would love to write more children's books. There is such a high standard out there for children's books; there are really amazing writers. It is a fantastic creative outlet and such an amazing teaching tool. The thing I love about kids, too, is it is so imaginative and poetic.

We've done a very good job of teaching patients that they need things,

We have too many breakdowns. I think that we have to go back to the one, two, three of defense rotations, and getting guys in different positions. The only way that you can win games if you are relying on your offense night in and night out, is you have to outscore teams. We're not going to outscore teams, so our defense has to go back to the fundamentals of teaching positions.

The great majority of us are Muslims. We follow the teachings of the Prophet Mohammed (may peace be upon him). We are members of the brotherhood of Islam in which all are equal in rights, dignity and self-respect. Consequently, we have a special and a very deep sense of unity. But make no mistake: Pakistan is not a theocracy or anything like it.

Willie's like a big brother to me. I came to him and I said I really wanted to be his understudy, learn the ins and outs of not just the game, but life outside the game, handling yourself off the field, handling your finances and then just handling yourself as a person and he's doing a great job of teaching me.

Mostly, we'll be teaching them how to take care of business. But we want them to know how to have fun too.

We interviewed quite a number of people. The thing that stood out about coach Bliss was an outstanding coaching and teaching record. He and his family have been in this area before so they're familiar with Western North Carolina.

We have people moving here to take teaching jobs. They need to understand the population they're working with.

That was a lot of fun and they did really good. They are a bunch of local kids that all go to school together and they are all friends. We put a team together and the kids learned a lot this year. That's been a lot of fun teaching the kids this summer.

That will really help us provide instruction on computers and better serve our children by teaching them the skills to further educate themselves so they will not be limited because they do not have any knowledge of computers.

My big passion is teaching theater, ... I decided I wanted to live in a beautiful area and start a theater school.

The most successful businessmen were often uneducated when measured by the scholastic standards of the teaching profession. But they were equal to their social function of adjusting production to the most urgent demand. Because of these merits the consumers chose them for business leadership.

We have an indoor covered arena, an outdoor arena, 200 acres of trails and 90 acres of lush pasture. We're open to the public for boarding, (horse) training and teaching people how to ride. We can stable 20 horses." ()

The Pseudo-liberals monopolize the teaching jobs at many universities. Only men who agree with them are appointed as teachers and instructors of the social sciences, and only textbooks supporting their ideas are used.

Man is born an asocial and antisocial being. The newborn child is a savage. Egoism is his nature. Only the experience of life and the teachings of his parents, his brothers, sisters, playmates, and later of other people FORCE HIM to acknowledge the advantages of social cooperation and accordingly to change his behavior.

You know, it makes me laugh because I've got two great kids out there holding and kicking, and I think they went out there and thought they had all day -- like it was in practice, ... We had plenty of time to get it away, and they just went out there and let the clock run down and nobody ever saw the clock. I guess I'll take responsibility for that for not teaching those guys to look at the clock.

We didn't do that much (in the past). Everybody has their own drills. Mostly they're teaching the same things. But it's just a little bit different way of doing it...the coaching styles of some of the guys (assistants) are a lot different from some of the guys we had last year.

Mike and I went to the same high school together. He was four years behind me, but we had mutual friends. I heard that Mike was looking for a teaching job, and I told him I was looking for an assistant. I was excited when he took the job. I knew he was a very talented guy.

We are both Austrians so we went through the same teaching procedure in Austria and we are the same height.

When it comes to the name-calling and other things, I think that's below the dignity of the superintendent. That's something he has to stop. It's causing anger among the teaching staff.

When I was 19, I started taking it seriously. I started copying my grandfather's 78s and talking to the older generation who played it, learning their stories and their music and eventually teaching it at the New England Conservatory of Music.

While co-teaching may be a valuable strategy for delivering instruction, it is not an acceptable approach to meet the Class Size Amendment.

We're always looking for more patients to enhance our teaching component. It would enhance us, plus you have some capacity at MCH in inpatient care. It's a win for both of our organizations and the community as well as the veterans.

We'll continue to do a lot of teaching and skill work in the next few weeks, ... but this already feels more like a veteran team.

When the company first got started, we were in my mom and dad's house, in 1973, and the office was in my bedroom. My dad started teaching me about statistics when I was in fourth grade, things I wouldn't see in school until college. I've always found this stuff fascinating.

Who I am today speaks far greater than what anyone can say about me. I thank God every day that I am alive and that I am able to dedicate my life to teaching others, enriching lives and acting as a vehicle for empowerment.

When you're teaching an average golfer, you can experiment a lot more, ... If that doesn't work, try this. You can't do that with a tour pro.

We can't watch all those kids. We're teaching them responsibility; if they cheat (at practice) then they're cheating themselves.

We'll watch this tape and use it as a teaching tool for our group.

We really, truly need very, very sound biblical teaching by some of the best biblical teachers around. If we could have a really firm grasp on what these biblical principles mean for our world, we can at least know how to live them out. And then we need to learn how to communicate that to the people around us.
