Jesus tailored his teaching methods to his crowd and to the subject matter. Always appropriate.

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” (William Ward)

A great teacher is a great artist. It is the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.” (John Steinbeck)

Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.” (Gail Goldwin)

Significant to childhood success is the presence of an earthly father and a Heavenly Father.

Dyslexia is word blindness. It is a real inherited condition that affects 20% of our students. Great teachers cannot ignore it.

The best teachers spend up to one third of their time in review. This takes planning and preparation. The end result is mastery learning

Use your tests and quizzes to review the truths everyday. A test is a learning tool, not a report card grade.

For some kids, the teacher is the most important person in their life. Sometimes our students bear tremendous burdens that we don’t know.

Motivating students starts with a well prepared teacher. Teach with a hot heart.

Everyone loves a story. Make it so, that when the students go home, they say, “My teacher told this story today. You’ve got to hear it.”

Exodus 24:7 All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. Obedience is necessary before learning can take place.

Abraham Lincoln said, “A woodsman never loses time when he stops to sharpen his axe.”

Isaiah 1:17a KJV “Learn to do well;...” We need to have an advanced learning plan for self improvement. None of us have “arrived”.

There is no substitute for a knowledgeable teacher. We must study, plan, and prepare for each day anew.

Isaiah 28:10 KJV For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

The foundation of learning is the fear of the Lord. On top of that foundation is obedience. Understanding always follows obedience

I spoke in 3 workshops at the Indiana Association of Christian Schools yesterday. Every teacher needs to continue learning. Essential!

I fill my gas tank weekly, I fill my spiritual tank daily, I need to fill my teacher tank too. Go to a convention, seminar, or webinar.
