Famous quotes containing the word teaching:

    May my teaching drop like the rain, my speech condense like the dew; like gentle rain on grass, like showers on new growth.
    Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 32:2.

    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)

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