I have learnt..

" The most brilliant strategy in the world won't do any good if you can't deliver on it. "

That one liner is from an article from Harvard Business Review. It reminded me about my thoughts about classroom teaching, something that had been on my mind the past 2 months..

I was just thinking.. No matter how much content knowledge one has, how proficient one is in their subject matter, how high one's qualifications are, if the students you are teaching are not receptive to what you want them to learn, you have failed as a teacher. Yes? No?

Being able to inspire the students suddenly becomes more important. You want to inspire them to learn, and that means facilitating becomes more important than teaching. In order to facilitate well, you need to be well-prepared. To compete with creative modes of information technology which permeates every part of their life, you have got to spend more time preparing your lesson.. I am sure this happens in Secondary School too.. Beyond that, students should be probably more self-motivated to learn.

But anywayz, when you get to that level of realisation, teaching starts to become more complex......

Off for badmintion! :)
