Background Knowledge

Famous quotes containing the words background and/or knowledge:

“... every experience in life enriches one’s background and should teach valuable lessons.”

“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
