The Art of Teaching

 


The world has these two distinctions. The Arts and everything else.

The Arts are judged by the feelings that they inspire, the artists they connect with and the beauty they can create. This is true whether it is writing, drawing, song, statues, drama, dancing and teaching.

Yes, you read that right: Teaching. Teaching is an art meant to assist students in the classroom to feel a sense of wonder, accomplishment, morality, hardships, strength, perseverance and grow the only organ in the body meant to feel and think... the brain. Teachers are there to inspire the students to reach their potential, to awaken them through problem solving and lives past and stories. Teachers bring beauty to a world that can easily get lost in the hustle and bustle of every day life. They reach out to all walks of life helping them to see the world for what it is, what it can be and who they really are.

Instead of paintbrushes, I use books. Instead of a stage I have the chalkboard. Instead of a song, I use lessons. Instead of fans and fanatics, I have students. Instead of clay, I mold minds.

My passion is teaching, my art is teaching.

I love awaken their minds and inspiring their soul. I love questioning their outlooks and making them look further, feel deeper, find more.

My Art is beautiful.


It can't be judged by rubrics and tests. It can't be standardized or placed into a box. It can't be judged by those that are not submerged in the lessons themselves. Teaching is from the soul. It is a connection of two souls who grow together and become more. Teaching is meant to transform the individual.

Teaching is an art. It is nothing more than Starry Night is a smear of paints, the Nutcracker is a swarm of bodies, and Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a random collections of sound bits.
