The best teacher I ever had …?
WE TEACH WHO WE ARE

• “Good teachers join self and subject and students in the fabric of life.
• Good teachers possess a capacity for connectedness.
• The methods used by them vary widely.
• The connections made by good teachers are held not in their methods but in their hearts.
• Teaching cannot be reduced to technique.”
• “In him (Christ) all things hold together.” (Colossians 1:17)
