I am reading an online book on my new phone and found this wonderful "recipe" I wanted to share, "It was nothing a bit of attitude couldn't fix. And I had the recipe for attitude: two cups of aloof, a dash of dry wit, and a sprinkling of cruelty to taste."
If there was a recipe for teaching, what would the ingredients be?

A cup of humility and fascination of the potential of the human beings put in our charge. A pinch of regret for those we can't reach. A scoop of humor to lighten the load, and a bushel of strategies to touch every soul who struggles to learn under our watchful eyes.
ReplyDeleteA cup of caring in the deepest way. Two cups of compassion to resonate in every student's heart you touch. Enough patience to taste, as a different amount is required for each and every child and situation. 2 tablespoons of high expectations, to ensure every child reaches his or her maximum potential.
