Taught

A teacher or schoolteacher is a person who provides education for pupils (children) and students (adults). The role of teacher is often formal and ongoing, carried out at a school or other place of formal education. In many countries, a person who wishes to become a teacher must first obtain specified professional qualifications or credentials from a university or college. These professional qualifications may include the study of pedagogy, the science of teaching. Teachers, like other professionals, may have to continue their education after they qualify, a process known as continuing professional development. Teachers may use a lesson plan to facilitate student learning, providing a course of study which is called the curriculum.

Famous quotes containing the word taught:

    “God is Love,” we are taught as children to believe. But when we first begin to get some inkling of how He loves us, we are repelled; it seems so cold, indeed, not love at all as we understand the word.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    There was a young curate of Kew
    Who kept a tom cat in a pew.
    He taught it to speak
    alphabetical Greek,
    But it never got further than ยต.
    Anonymous.

    Ye taught my lips a single speech,
    And a thousand silences.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
