It is commonly said that a teacher fails if he has not been surpassed by his students. There has been no failure on our part in this regard considering how far they have gone.

Through dialogue, the teacher-of-the-students and the students-of-the-teacher cease to exist and a new term emerges: teacher-student with students-teachers.

Paulo Freire

The main difference in the effectiveness of teaching comes from the thoughts the teacher has had during the entire time of his or her existence and brings into the classroom. A teacher concerned with developing humans affects the students quite differently from a teacher who never thinks about such things.

Rudolf Steiner

The most successful classes are those where the teacher has a clear idea of what is expected from the students and the students know what the teacher expects from them.

I am firm in my belief that a teacher lives on and on through his students. Good teaching is forever and the and the teacher is immortal.

Jesse Stuart

I'd never been a teacher before, and here I was starting my first day with these eager students. There was a shortage of teachers, and they had been without a math teacher for six months. They were so excited to learn math.

Andrew Shue

A teacher can never truly teach unless he is still learning himself. A lamp can never light another lamp unless it continues to burn its own flame. The teacher who has come to the end of his subject, who has no living traffic with his knowledge but merely repeats his lesson to his students, can only load their minds, he cannot quicken them.

Rabindranath Tagore

A true teacher does not terrorize ignorant students, because a true teacher knows that it is his job to cure ignorance.

Miriam Defensor Santiago

If the student fails to learn, the teacher fails to teach.

Sidney Sugarman

Clearly the work of a master teacher who has deep knowledge of his subject and enormous empathy for his students and his readers.

Betty Edwards

One time, the teacher was the storehouse of knowledge. That will no longer be so. So what would a teacher do? A very good teacher will play the role of augmenter. Also, the teacher will be located anywhere and helping students.

Shiv Nadar

Call me old-fashioned, but it's always been my firm belief that a teacher's job should be for each of his or her students to finish the year with a grade of 100%.

Steven Crowder

The Socratic teacher turns his students away from himself and back onto themselves; he hides in paradoxes, makes himself inaccessible. The intimate relationship between student and teacher here is not one of submission, but of a contest for truth.
