The Inner Creates The Outer
November 11, 2009
You can’t plant beans and grow potatoes, any more than you can expect a class to perform when a teacher’s energy is else where.
One of the big challenges of life and teaching is knowing what we want and our willingness to create it.
Teachers who want to be more effective may want to clarify with students:
- The kind of class they want to create
- What type of energy they want in the room
- The skills they want their students to take with them
- What they want to be known for
- The parent/teacher relationship and its affect on the student
We produce, not from our words, but from our heart, which brings to light a universal law we rarely consider, “The inner creates the outer.”
