Our best teachers do more than impart facts and figures - they inspire and encourage students and instill a true desire to learn. That's a fine art in itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning.
Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students.
Teachers are always trying to inspire people to do better, to learn, to grow. That's what we do, and we're proud of the success we've had here doing that, and it's something we'll certainly continue to do.
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
Our teachers are valuable, and our public policy should reflect that.
If it's taught well, art really is important to kids early on. It helps children develop language and allows them to see themselves in a way that isn't right or wrong, because if they draw an animal with five legs instead of four, nobody's criticizing them for it.
I do think we know that a teacher who knows what he or she is doing, knows their subject matter, and knows how to impart knowledge to kids is a critical piece of closing the achievement gap.
Art is something you can't teach, but you can inspire it.
There is nothing more valuable than great classroom instruction. But let's stop putting the whole burden on teachers. We also need better parents. Better parents can make every teacher more effective.
Facts can be turned into art if one is artful enough.
