The Best Teachers
>> Mar 23, 2011
A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.
******
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
--William Arthur Ward
******
Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures.
--Eugene P. Bertin
******
Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more.
--Bob Talbert
******
Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition.
--Jacques Barzun
******
The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple.
--Amos Bronson Alcott
******
The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."
--Dan Rather
******
In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years.
--Jacques Barzun
******
"Teachers, I believe, are the most responsible and important members of society because their professional efforts affect the fate of the earth."
--Helen Caldicott, author and peace activist
******
"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards."
--Anatole France
******
"A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."
--Henry Brooks Adams
******
Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher."
--Japanese proverb
******
Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well.
--Aristotle
******
A gifted teacher is as rare as a gifted doctor, and makes far less money
******
Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions.
******
The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book.

The Best Teachers
Teachers open up young minds,
showing them the wonders of the intellect
and the miracle
of being able to think for themselves.
A teacher exercises
the mental muscles of students,
stretching and strengthening,
so they can make challenging decisions,
find their way in the world,
and become independent.
The best teachers care enough
To gently push and prod students
to do their best
and fulfill their potential.
You are one of those.
Thank you.

Wonderful Teacher
With a special gift for learning
And with a heart that deeply cares,
You add a lot of love
To everything you share,
And even though
You mean a lot,
You'll never know how much,
For you helped
To change the world
Through every life you touched.
You sparked the creativity
In the students whom you taught,
And helped them strive for goals
That could not be bought,
You are such a special teacher
That no words can truly tell
However much you're valued
For the work you do so well.
******
A Teacher for All Seasons
A teacher is like Spring,
Who nurtures new green sprouts,
Encourages and leads them,
Whenever they have doubts.
A teacher is like Summer,
Whose sunny temperament
Makes studying a pleasure,
Preventing discontent.
A teacher is like Fall,
With methods crisp and clear,
Lessons of bright colors
And a happy atmosphere.
A teacher is like Winter,
While it’s snowing hard outside,
Keeping students comfortable,
As a warm and helpful guide.
Teacher, you do all these things,
With a pleasant attitude;
You’re a teacher for all seasons,
And you have my gratitude!

Number One Teacher
(Name of teacher),
I'm happy that you're my teacher;
I enjoy each lesson you teach.
As my role model you inspire me
To dream and to work and to reach.
With your kindness you get my attention;
Every day you are planting a seed
Of curiosity and motivation
To know and to grow and succeed.
You help me fulfill my potential;
I'm thankful for all that you've done.
I admire you each day, and I just want to say,
As a teacher, you're number one!
