COMPREHENSION
Teaching facts is
easy.You can train
a PARROT to
repeat information , but it”s
more difficult to
get it to
apply that information
to its BIRDCAGE
LIFE. Teaching is more
than TOSSING FACTS
into the classroom
atmosphere like cut
flowers. It is more
like planting a
garden. It involves careful
preparation , faithful sowing , tender watering , and a
determination to keep
the weeds of
error from interfering
with growth.
The goal
of teaching is
understanding , not mere
knowledge. Students haven”t really
learned until they
are able to
translate your truths
into daily living.MATH
is more than
NUMBERS; it is a
problem—solving tool that
your students may
use to build
a CAREER. COMPUTER SKILLS
go beyond terms
and technologies.REAL SKILL
is LEARNING HOW
TO USE THAT INSTRUMENT
FOR INDIVIDUAL OR
CORPORATE BLESSING.
Teach until
the lights go
on ----until vague principles
become vital paths
where wondering minds
will begin a
GLORIOUS JOURNEY.
COMPREHENSION is more
important than MEMORIZATION. Until a
student learns to
apply FACTS to
FAITH , the learning cycle
is not complete.
Always show
students what to
do with what
they know.
“ A WELL—TRAINED
MEMORY IS ONE
THAT PERMITS YOU TO FORGET
EVERYTHING THAT ISN”T
WORTH REMEMBERING.”---Battista
