Teaching Strategies is a company with an online assessment called GOLD that our Early Childhood Program has recently been using to assess Early Learning. When accessing the site, I came upon some quotable quotes that truly speak volumes about what Early Childhood Educators do each day. I have these quotes hanging in my office and they serve as a reminder of what and who we are here for.
"Be an opener of doors..."~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Education is no the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."~ William Butler Yates
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." ~Benjamin Franklin
"A mind once stretched by a new idea never gains its original dimensions." ~Oliver Wendell Holmes
"What you leave behind is not what is engraved in monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others."~ Pericles
