Teaching Philosophy
“Pouring out knowledge is not teaching.
Hearing lessons is not teaching.
Lecturing well is not teaching.
No mere applying of knowledge is teaching.
Teaching is getting at heart and mind, so that the
learner begins to value learning, and to believe
learning is possible in his own case.”
(E. Thring, 19th century British school headmaster,
in Theory and Practice of Teaching, p. 239, quoted
in E. B. Castle, The Teacher, page 159)
