“I never teach my
pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn” ~
Albert Einstein
They are my true heroes;
the blackboard-cleaning, chalk bathing; men and women who
devoted standing hours explaining—and sometimes angrily shouting—theories and
concepts into my skull that eventually added up in making me who I am today.
I love my teachers. I
love teachers and the teaching profession because, it is a noble profession
dedicated to moulding the future of people and the future of the world. It is
also a profession that needs a lot of patience and passion, and when you talk
about passion for teaching, only a few teachers on planet earth have the kind of burning
passion my guest has
Mrs. Vicki Davis is a
teacher that loves students deeply. Apart from teaching students, she also
makes out time to blog on Cool Cat Teacher; her award winning blog where she communicates
with other teachers around the world, and cross pollinates ideas on how to move
the teaching profession forward. She’s also a mom, public speaker, and the co-founder
of the Flat classroom project.
She told me about her
passion for the teaching profession, her different projects, and what she
thinks about challenges affecting education globally. Here’s my stroll with Mrs.
Vicki; you know what they say, ‘when a teacher is talking, you listen.’ So I suggest
you listen attentively.
