Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.

I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning.

A good teacher must be able to put himself in the place of those who find learning hard.

A child's learning is a function more of the characteristics of his classmates than those of the teacher.

I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child as an eight- or nine-year-old asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels and I would say 'What does that mean?'

I saw as a teacher how if you take that spark of learning that those children have and you ignite it you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment.

The atmosphere at my school was very competitive. Young girls were competing with each other every day for status for leadership for the affection of the teachers. I hated it.

If we are to negotiate the coming years safely we may need a new kind of leadership. To put it more precisely we need the rediscovery of an ancient kind of leadership that has rarely been given the prominence it deserves. I mean the leader as teacher.

Golf is about knowledge and studying another player - more than listening to a teacher - is the best way to get 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.

There was the best teachers from the Czech Philharmonic highly dedicated people some of the best musicians in the world passing on the knowledge about the country about the principles and about the music.

The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge.

The world of knowledge takes a crazy turn when teachers themselves are taught to learn.

Art owes its origin to Nature herself... this beautiful creation the world supplied the first model while the original teacher was that divine intelligence which has not only made us superior to the other animals but like God Himself if I may venture to say it.

Emotional intelligence begins to develop in the earliest years. All the small exchanges children have with their parents teachers and with each other carry emotional messages.

I grew up in a bookless house - my parents didn't read poetry so if I hadn't had the chance to experience it at school I'd never have experienced it. But I loved English and I was very lucky in that I had inspirational English teachers Miss Scriven and Mr. Walker and they liked us to learn poems by heart which I found I loved doing.

The single most important thing in a child's performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing.
