Quote by Amita Parikh

“One of the great things about teaching is how difficult it is to multitask while doing it. Like reading, teaching requires your full focus — I consider that a feature, not a flaw. When things are hard to multitask, that means they require effort and attention, which is a good thing. We have to pay attention, bring our full focus to teaching, and then we can do it well.”

“Leaders are like lecturers. They can either stand in front and teach, or be at the centre and facilitate or even be at the back and invigilate. Their task is to ensure what needs to be done gets done at the right time.”
