“Progress is slow partly from mere intellectual inertia. In a subject where there is no agreed procedure for knocking out errors, doctrines have a long life. A professor teaches what he was taught, and his pupils, with a proper respect and reverence for teachers, set up a resistance against his critics for no other reason than that it was he whose pupils they were.” LongReasonTeachTeacherProgressSubjectsTaughtIntellectualErrorsMereCriticsResistanceDoctrineProfessorsReverenceLong LifeProceduresPupilsKnockingInertia Author:Joan Robinson

“The most successful teachers in low-income communities operate like successful leaders. They establish a vision of where their students will be performing at the end of the year that many believe to be unrealistic. They invest their students in working harder than they ever have to reach that vision, maximise their classroom time in a goal-oriented manner through purposeful planning and effective execution, reflect constantly on their progress to improve their performance over time, and do whatever it takes to overcome the many challenges they face.” YearsBelieveEndsFacesGoalCommunityChallengesLeaderVisionSuccessfulTeacherProgressStudentsLowsPerformancesOvercomingHarderPlanningIncomePerformingClassroomExecutionWhatever It TakesLow IncomeGoal OrientedSuccessful Leaders Author:Wendy Kopp
