"Many of the play skills that children
learned in the past by observing
and imitating their older playmates
now have to be taught directly by
teachers or learned from behaviors
that teachers model".

I love the quote about teaching!! If I had to chose another career path I would come up with nothing because, literally everything in me was called on to teach!
ReplyDeleteI believe that you must be called to teach if you want to be great. If you were not called on to do this then you are not being fair to yourself or to your students.
ReplyDeleteMelissa & Marquis,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you both! I wanted to be a dentist when I first started college but after a sequence of events I had no other choice but to answer to my calling which was to teach! Therefore I am also fulfilled in my calling! :)
I'm a true believer in the power of teaching. At an early age children are open to learning and exploring different things as they grow. What a wonderful time to educate them on what the world has to offer.
