SOME MEMORABLE QUOTATIONS TO REFLECT ON


Hi marcela!!! It is an honour for me to post some rich material and to share it with teachers all around the world. In this case, I would like to reflect on some quotations written by an inspired teacher, Dr. HAIM GINOTT.
All the best for you Marcela!

TEACHER

"I have come to a frightening conclusion.
I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.

"As a teacher, I possess tremendous power
to make a child´s life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture
or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.

In all situations it is my response that decides
whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated
and a child HUMANIZED or DEHUMANIZED."

Dr. Haim Ginott.
