Q: What are teachers for ?
• Q: What promotes and sustains student engagement?
• Activity (as distinct from passive listening). Group activities generate much energy.
• A variety of modes of engagement (visual/verbal, active/reflective, global/sequential)
• A task or challenge (i.e. a reason or motivation to seek knowledge)
• A connection with personal experience (a concrete application)
• An opportunity for individual self expression.• A teacher who inspires respect.
What promotes respect for the teacher?
• Authority or Mastery of the Subject matter: Know what you are talking about.
• Enthusiasm: demonstrate your conviction that the subject matter is important.
• Care: demonstrate concern for and empathy with the students; do you know all the first names?
The general principles of any study you may learn by books at home; but the detail, the colour, the tone, the air, the life which makes it live in us, you must catch all these from those in whom it lives already.
• The Education process is a Human Relationship.

The Socratic Method
• The Socratic method encourages participants to reflect and think independently and critically.
• Socratic Dialogue is practiced in small groups with the help of a facilitator, so that self-confidence in one’s own thinking is enhanced and the search for truth in answer to a particular question is undertaken in common.
• The most important point in all of this is the autonomy in thinking: philosophical insights are gained only by those who engage in the process of knowing in their own mind.
• External influences shall do no more than stimulate independent thinking.
