The Law of the Teacher
If you stop growing today, you stop teaching
tomorrow
Luke 6:40: Everyone who is fully trained will
be like his teacher.
If you want to minister to others, ask God first
of all to minister to you. He wants to work
through youbut He cant until He works in
you.
He will use you as His instrument, but He
wants to sharpen and cleanse that instrument to
make it a more effective tool in His hands.

The Law of the TeacherThe Search for Teachers
In the search for good teachers, look for FAT people those
who are Faithful, Available, and Teachable.
effective teaching comes only through a changed person.
The more you change, the more you become an instrument of
change in the lives of others. If you want to become a changeagent, you also must change.
The two factors that will influence you the most in the years
ahead are the books you read and the people youre around.
Experience does not necessarily make you better; in fact it
tends to make you worse, unless its evaluatedexperience. Thegood teachers greatest threat is satisfaction the failure to
keep asking, How can I improve?

The Law of Communication
Communication is the reason for our
existence as teachers.Its also our number
one teaching problem.

knowing ones students, which in itself

The Law of the Heart
Teaching that impacts is not head to head, but heart toheart.
Platos triumvirate of ethos (character/credibility),pathos (compassion) and logos (content). Ethos,pathos and logos are like a pyramid where each is
dependent upon the previous.Character,Compassion, Content.
Without the foundation ofcharacter/credibility, therewill not be the confidence in the teacher which isfoundational to the implicit contract between teacher
and student. The student needs to know that the teacher cares
about him, and third of course, is content.
