Inspiring Quotes
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire" William Butler Yeats
"All of life is education and everybody is a teacher and everybody is forever a pupil" Abraham Maslow
" Each person's map of the world is as unique as their thumbprint. There are no two people alike...no two people who understand the same sentence the same way...So in dealing with people try not to fit them to your concept of what they should be" Milton Erickson
The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist." Maria Montessori
"If formal instruction is introduced too early, too intensely and too abstractly, the children may indeed learn the instructed knowledge and skills, but they may do so at the expense of the disposition to use them" Lilian Katz
"Our task, regarding creativity, is to help children climb their own mountains, as high as possible." Loris Malaguzzi
"We adults destroy most of the intellectual and creative capacity of children by the things we do to them or make them do. We destroy this capacity above all by making them afraid" John Holt
"If you give your child the same esteem you would give a great lecturer, then the child will know him - or herself to be valued and therefore will feel valuable. There is no better way to teach your children that they are valuable people than by valuing them..The more children feel valuable, the more they will then begin to say things of value. They will rise to your experience of them" M.Scott Peck
"Teachers - like children and everyone else - feel the need to grow in their competences; they want to transform experiences into thoughts, thoughts into reflections, and reflections into new thoughts and new actions. They also feel a need to make predictions, to try things out, and to interpret them...Teachers must learn to interpret ongoing processes rather than wait to evaluate results." Loris Malaguzzi
"People's beliefs about their abilities have a profound effect on those abilities. Ability is not a fixed property; there is a huge variability in how you perform. People who have a sense of self efficacy bounce back from failures; they approach things in terms of how to handle them rather than worrying about what can go wrong" Albert Bandura
"We have much to do together, Let us do it in wisdom and love and joy..Let us make this the human experience" Gary Zukav
"Niente Senza Gioia" (Nothing Without Joy)
Loris Malaguzzi
