Wise Words Wednesday-Lead the Way

If your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more and become more,
you are a leader.

John Quincy Adams

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Harold R. McAlindon

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wise Words Wednesday-Plant, Learn, Encourage

It's not what is poured into a student that counts, but what is planted.

-Linda Conway


The teachers who get "burned out" are not the ones who are constantly learning, which can be exhilarating, but those who feel they must stay in control and ahead of the students at all times.

-Frank Smith


Nine-tenths of education is encouragement.

-Anatole France

Wise Words Wednesday-Teaching and Teachers

"Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers."

-Josef Albers

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."

-Dan Rather

A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.

-Author Unknown
