I’ve continued to reflect on Alastair Parvin’s TEDtalk for several weeks. It is eminder about the importance and prevalence of design in today’s world. This quote, in particular, has stayed with me, so I used it to create this poster. Alastair’s presentation is an example of just how important it is for creativity to be fostered. Outside-the-box thinking like his may very well resolve some of the difficult issues that we’ll be facing in the coming decades.

“It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”
“It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning.”
“While the untimely death of Dr. King was the end of an era, it also marked the beginning of a movement – to take the lessons we learned from his vision and transform our future.” (Source)
I saw this quote on the Dr. Seuss Google+ account and thought I’d share it.
Happy Mother’s Day.
“The test of a good teacher is not how many questions
he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily,
but how many questions he inspires them to ask him
which he finds it hard to answer.”
–Alice Wellington Rollins

I have come to a frightening conclusion.
I am the decisive element in the classroom.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
As a teacher I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or dehumanized.
–Haim Ginott
“You neither learn nor grow by your success, only by your failures. Failure is the grease that keeps the world’s engines running.” –Stan Lee
