Teachers influence students to make a difference in their lives. They can arouse passion for thinking and learning, or they can become the reason a person believes h/she will never succeed.
The best equipped classroom in the early years does not necessarily ensure a good education. Bricks, mortar, and creeping ivy do not make a great university...It is the men and women who teach who are the key to an effective education.
Teaching is an awesome responsibility which should be given only to the most dedicated individuals. In the ideal world, there is no unprepared, reluctant, or indifferent teacher. The teacher must be secure, vibrant, productive, informed and caring. The teacher must help students succeed, not fail.
The teacher must be the master of his discipline. His passion and enthusiasm for his area of expertise should be real and apparent to his/her students.
The above was written by the best teacher I've ever known in 1992: Dr. Clara R. Chiara. What do you think?
