What Teachers Make

DAY 1

That's what teaching is, the art of explanation: presenting the right information in the right order in a memorable way. The teacher's job is to sort through all those explanations and examples before class and to present the ones that work best... and then perhaps to leave off the last step so that the students can make that connection for themselves.

The more things I think or do for my teaching, the more difficulties I will face in my classroom. I was much depressed for my failure in guiding them to learn interestingly and happily. I thought about giving up because I did not know how to handle it. But Taylor - the author of this book- says:

The real lesson is learning how to keep going even when what you're learning is hard and confusing.

The real lesson here is the diligence, cooperation, resilience, flexibility, critical thinking, and problem solving you are actively using today.

Therefore, I myself should be resilient first and move on to help them.
