I am inspired by others who walked on the pathway where I now walk. "Most teachers waste their time by asking questions which are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose to discover what the pupil knows or is capable of knowing." ~Albert Einstein ~ "Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher." ~Parker Palmer
