Turning on the TV the night before yesterday, the movie channel was showing an English original film,
I remembered my teaching career.
Just compare it to me to commemorate my youth dedicated to the campus.
(1) What to teach—
Go beyond the curriculum
Catherine’s first lesson on Wellesley was a complete failure. Every word that was prepared was snatched away by the students because: they all read through the textbook and disdain to listen again. Something you already know.
Compared to Catherine, I have some prior knowledge? When preparing for the first lesson, I kept asking myself: three feet podium, ninety minutes, what do you teach them? The teaching content required by the syllabus is written in the textbook; the reference book, the version the students take is more complete than mine—what is the meaning of me?
When I finally stood on the podium, I admitted frankly: What I can teach you is really limited; the university is already a paradise for self-study; my only hope is to inspire your interest in learning and enjoy the joy of learning with you. Since then, my class has always been on the edge of textbooks. Philosophy, religion, culture, life, human nature... are the constant topics.
(Catherine also resolutely turned his class into a place for discussion: What is art? Is it good or bad? What criteria can be used to decide these questions?......)
(2) Where does the enthusiasm come from
-to talk about , In fact, just to convince yourself that
Bill said to Catherine: You think you came to Wellesley to help the girls find their way. I think you came to help the girls find your way.
Living in the United States in the middle of the last century, Catherine was one of the rare older unmarried women. Meeting, loving, and estranged; it's not cynicism, it's just marriage and it's not a habitat. She actively promotes her own outlook on life, and constantly conveys to the girls the idea that outside of marriage, the world is still big. In other words, "Daughters should be self-improvement."
Similarly, I try to make my students believe: "It is not wealth or status, but realm that separates people to the greatest extent." "Many questions, in fact, calm down and ask yourself, and they all have answers. Believe. And keep digging into our own inner wisdom."
Faith drives us to enthusiastically talk, speak to others, and speak to ourselves; even eager to prove our own choices in the younger generation.
