Excellent teaching is not about transmitting the subject matter from our mind to the student’s, but about creating within the student the ability to learn the material beyond our influence. [...] As teachers, when students come to us looking for insight, mastery, or understanding, we sometimes give them pyrite. Why? [...] Gentleness is a powerful teaching tool. Give the student who is used to being pushed nothing to fight against and see what changes. [...] Teaching does have a product, and it is hidden in plain sight. Ultimately the teacher’s product is the teacher themself. [...] A teacher has great power to demonstrate good endings, to give the student a way to transition from one path to another, one level to another, one teacher to another – or to no teacher. [...] Most teaching is about strengthening the student’s understanding of our views, but there are times when it is best to seek to weaken the shadow of our voice in the student’s mind. [...] As a teacher, can you show your students what gratitude might look like? [...] Any time we teach, we choose what facets of ourselves to show our student in order to best teach them. [...] If you want your students to be genuinely and deeply attentive you must show them how. [...] To teach deeply, to be a great teacher, it is essential that you understand what exchanges are in play in your teaching and what they accomplish. [...] |
