CHAPTER 1
1.
To spend your life doing what matters is the greatest of all achievements. Teaching matters.
2.
Remember those teachers who influenced your life for the good. What did they do? How did they give you what you needed? Follow their example.
3.
Be aware that you teach so much more than a subject. You are opening minds and hearts; you are shaping lives.
4.
Radiate enthusiasm for your students, for learning, for life—and for engaging students in learning and in life. Your students—and you—will be so much richer.
5.
Be passionate about the subject matter that you teach. Excitement is contagious.
6.
Listen to and respect your students' dreams. Then challenge them to reach even higher.
7.
Children need healthy structure and guidelines to learn and to grow well. Give your students rules that are firm, fair, and consistent.
8.
Act with honesty, justice, and integrity. By doing so, you teach these values without effort.
