RAISING CHILDREN
OF CHARACTER IN
A WIRED WORLD

Principles
•Every Teacher is an Agent of
Character Formation
•Not just another subject
•Education is not just covering
curriculum

Principles
•No other better way to teach
character than through the power
of our example
•The teacher is the most
important teaching tool

Principles
•The school is only as good as its
teachers.

today’s youth will
become the leaders
of tomorrow

75% of students stated that they
looked up to
teachers as mentors and role
models

79% of students said that
their teachers encouraged
them to follow their
dreams

IN SHORT:
How the world will be in the
future will depend on how we
prepare these young people
now!

TEACHING: MISSION and/or JOB?
If you are doing it only because
you are paid for it, it's a job.

If you are doing it not only for the
pay but also for service, it's a
mission.

If you quit because your boss or
colleague criticized you, it's a job;
If you keep on teaching out of love,
it's a mission.

If you teach because it does not
interfere with your other activities,
it's a job.

If you are committed to teaching
even if it means letting go of other
activities, it's a mission.

Teachers affect eternity;
no one can tell where
their influence stops.
Henry Brooks Adams

Children are like wet cement,
whatever falls on them makes
an impression.
- Haim Ginott

Students don’t care how
much you know until they
know how much you care.

The test of a good teacher is
not how many questions he
can ask his pupils that they
will answer readily, but how
many questions he inspires
them to ask him which he
finds it hard to answer.
-Alice Wellington Rollins

Teaching kids to count is
fine, but teaching them
what counts is best.
-Bob Talbert

The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher
demonstrates. The great
teacher inspires.

SUCH IS THE NOBILITY OF
YOUR JOB AS
TEACHERS

Education is not the filling
of a pail, but the lighting of
a fire.

SENSE OF SERVICE turns
EMPLOYMENT into a MISSION

Otherwise,
it’s just a job, an
employment, a source of
livelihood.

I AM ENGAGED IN THE
BUSINESS OF ENHANCING
LIVES

As a general rule, teachers
teach more by what they
are than by what they say.

9 reasons to get into
teaching

1. Inspire
the next
generation

6. International
opportunities

" A teacher is the
flame that lights the
path of a child."

A teacher is
a special FRIEND
Whose love and
kindness never
ends.

" Teaching is the
profession that teaches
all the other
professions."

" Teachers don't impact for
a year, but for a lifetime."

Example isn't
another way to
teach,
it is the only
way to teach."

DEDICATION
LOYALTY
COMMITMENT
PROFESSIONALISM
PERSEVERANCE
RESILIENCE
GRIT
HONOR
TOUGHNESS
LOVE

The Four Stages of Teaching:
FANTASY
SURVIVAL
MASTERY
IMPACT

“Impact
Teachers universally say
they go into teaching to
make a difference.
You more than make a
difference.
You ARE the difference.”

A teacher ...
takes a hand,
opens a mind,
touches a heart
and shapes the
future."

“You were hired to impact lives.
You were hired not so much to teach
third grade, or history, or physical
education, as to influence lives. ”

"Teaching is
not just
hard work,
it's "HEART"
work."

Teachers are not in private
practice. We are in the
helping and caring
profession, a service
profession to help people
enhance the quality of their
lives.

One hundred years from
now it will not matter
What kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
How much I had in the bank account,
Or what my clothes looked like.
But the world will be a better
place because I was important
in the life of a child.

OUR TASK AS
PARENTS and
TEACHERS:
Develop our
children’s capacity
for goodness, curb
their capacity for
cruelty, and foster
the courage to come
to the aid of those
who are mistreated.

TEACHER AS MODEL:
Self-Inventory

Do I warmly greet each student?
Do I seek other opportunities to connect
with each student?
Am I well-prepared for class? On time?
Do I model patience and courtesy, even
under stress?
Do I treat my all students impartially?
Do I challenge all of them to do their best
work?
