I love little sayings that express feelings, beliefs, and understandings in a clever way. Here are some of my favorites. I wish I could claim authorship of all of them, but I can't. It is just a collection that I have heard and remembered over the years. My apologies go out to their authors for not identifying them; if i knew them, I would list them.
Quips to ponder in our
profession.....
- If we do what we've
done, we will get what we've gotten. If you want different, we must do different!
- If they can't learn
the way we teach, then we have to teach them the way they learn!
- Talk is easy...performance
is hard!
- Emotion =>
Attention => Learning
- Be a leader and not
a follower!
- You can lead a
horse to water, but you can't make him drink....but you can salt the oats!
- He who does the
talking does the learning!....and of course, she.
- Early's on
time...on time is late!
- You learn to read
by reading. You learn to write by writing. You learn to think by
thinking. You learn to worksheet by worksheeting!
- Collaborate, not
castigate!
- Do unto your
students as you would have your Principal do unto you!”
- You learn from your
mistakes, not from your successes!
- Stop whining and
start aligning!
- The problem with
schools isn’t that they are no longer what they once were; the problem is that,
in some cases, they are precisely what they once were.
- Good things happen
to good people who work hard.
- If we
teach today as we were taught yesterday, we will rob our children of
their tomorrow.
- Move slow to go fast!
- The only thing worse than people talking about you is people not
talking about you.
- Be yourself; everyone else is taken!
- Say what you mean, mean what you say, and don't say it meanly. (Chet Elder)
- There's one performance expectation for all educators...EXCELLENT! Who's satisfied with SATISFACTORY?
- Hmmmmm, I don't know; then let 'em go.
- Our jobs is twofold: help them get better or help them get out.
- If you wouldn't want your own children in that classroom, then why should any children be in there?
- Even dead fish can swim downstream.
