A  Simple Tip for Teachers, Parents, Bosses and Leaders

 

To be an effective teacher, you must understand that your goal with your students (employees, team members, etc.) is to develop the LOVE of whatever it is you are trying to teach.

Many teachers make the mistake of trying to develop the SKILLS of a subject matter before the LOVE of the subject matter is firmly in place.

Remember the piano teacher you hated?  She didn’t care about how you FELT about the piano.  She thought her job was merely to teach piano skills.

Students who LOVE a subject matter are very easy to teach.  In fact, because they are self-motivated, they hungrily seek out and apply corrections and improvements.
