In Summary
Author and educator, William Arthur Ward, once said,
===> “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” <====
More than ever we need our teachers to inspire our students each and every day. They need to lead by example. At the dojo, each class starts with the karate instructor taking a moment to recite their instructor pledge in front of the class. “I will teach this class as if it is the most important class I will ever teach. I am patient and enthusiastic.
===> I lead by example. <===
Their pledge sums up their personal and instructional goals and what they will do to promote the core beliefs and values of the school that day. Perhaps we need a daily pledge at our school too. I wonder if we can just steal the one from the karate school because they seem to have all the bases covered that we need to move forward.
