Teaching Quotes

[Miss T]

Everywhere I turn I seem to see some funny or meaningful "teacher" quotes. Does anyone have any good ones?

I've seen these:

"To teach is to touch lives forever"

"There are 3 reasons to become a teacher: June, July & August":)

Let's keep adding!

I love quotes! Last year in my classroom I always had a quote of the day. This year, with no classroom, I have not been able to do so. I am excited to get a classroom again solely for that quote of the day! I think students( as well as myself) can learn so much from quotes!

I have used quotes in my coaching for years. It is always well received. I find that the students feel they are important to me if I spend time looking for them. I try to keep them very applicable to what we are working on or to the person I find one for.

Be the leader you would want for your child.

Every classroom, a gallery; every student, a canvas; every teacher, an artist.

Good teachers provide answers. Great teachers provoke questions.

"The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book."

"The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery."
