Teaching Tips

Let's use the flip side of the bookmark to give teaching tips for them to take away. We all have them. Let's brainstorm, generate teaching tips, and add them as comments to this post.

Our bookmark will have two sides:
  1. Methodology check-list
  2. Teaching Tips

  6. A teacher is a learner whose turn it is to speak.

    The teacher is the book.

    We never learn much when we're talking.

    Teaching is the root of all professions.

    We teach much more by what we don't say than by what we do say.

    Teaching and learning are the two sides of the same idea.

    Teaching and learning are the means by which the mind breathes.

    Teaching and learning cannot exist without each other.

    Testing what was learned is never the same as testing what was taught.

    There are as many ways to do something as there are people to do it.
