... Obama's View on Good Teaching

“When I look back at the great teachers who shaped my life, what I remember isn’t the way they prepared me to take a standardised test. What I remember is the way they taught me to believe in myself, to be curious about the world, to take charge of my own learning so that I could reach my full potential, to inspire me, to open up a window into parts of the world that I’d never thought about before. That’s what good teaching is.”
