I am constantly seeking ways to be the best teacher I can be. Thanks to the mentors that help me along the way and to the students who challenge me to think in new ways.

The quotes below represent some good ideas about teaching and learning.

The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. - John Powell

Learning is not a spectator sport. - Chickering and Gamson

For learning to take place with any kind of efficiency students must be motivated. To be motivated, they must become interested. And they become interested when they are actively working on projects which they can relate to their values and goals in life. - Gus Tuberville, President, William Penn College

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes. - Marcel Proust, French novelist

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires - William Arthur Ward

The road to wisdom?-Well, it's plain and simple to express:

Err

and err

and err again

but less

and less

and less.

- Piet Hein, Danish inventor and poet.
