If you stop growing today, you stop teaching tomorrow.
1. The PHILOSOPHY that you as a teacher should embrace is that you are a learner. Would you rather have your students drink from an overflowing living stream or a stagnant pool? What have you learned lately? 2. You must have the ATTITUDE that you have not arrived and always ask, How can I improve? 3. Teaching involves a RELATIONSHIP between the message and method the nature of the message determines the nature of the method. Our message is the Word of God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth. It is a crime to bore people with the Word of God. How can you implement the law of the teacher? 1. By a consistent study and reading program. Get into the Word of God yourself and reflect upon what you read. 2. By getting to know your students. Not just age-group characteristics but their specific needs. 3. By intense personal evaluation (of your teaching)
