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)

    History is Philosophy teaching by examples.
    Thucydides (c. 460–400 B.C.)

    The most important part of teaching = to teach what it is to know.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)
