Teaching
Pursuant to the APA's aims, weekly classes accessible to the general public are run in several major cities throughout Australia. At present the APA runs classes in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Newcastle. Pursuant to being a registered incorporation under Australian law, the APA is a non-profit organisation, with most instructors and assistant instructors volunteering their time. In addition to weekly classes the APA has been involved in organising workshops for disadvantaged and at-risk youths.

Famous quotes containing the word teaching:
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“What is this? A new teaching -with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 1:27.
Of Jesus after he had exorcized an unclean spirit.
“It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
