Why I teach:
I teach to learn. I teach to see the smiles of joy, delight and discovery when students accomplish something they never believed possible.
What I’ve learned:
• You
can talk about writing to a group, but you can only teach
writing to one person at a time.
• Good writing can not be separated
from good thinking.
• The instructor is never the most important person in the classroom or
lab.
• Students have much to teach me.
• Information fuels creativity.
• True curiosity is rare. Nurture it.
• Floundering Around Theory:
Resist the temptation to give students answers and they will
find their own.
• Don’t ask if you’ve been nice enough to a student. Ask if you’ve
been honest enough.
• Laughter and fun are vital elements of any learning environment.
Chocolate also helps.
