"When
mentoring young faculty members, I try to help them
see in themselves what the rest of the faculty members
see:
talented young professionals who are valued by their
students and colleagues."
Gregory

School of Music
"The
successful teacher is not one who simply has all
the right answers coupled with pristine oratorical
skills
through which he dispenses them. I believe the
successful teacher is one who is willing to not only
reach out
to the student but to reach into the student’s
experience."
Lynn
A. Bryan
Mathematics and Science Education
".
. . education is one of the fundamental elements that
makes
us a global community . . . what an individual
teacher understands about her classroom can only be
understood
in relation to a broader set of concerns, whether
they are social, political, economic or cultural."
Jan
M. Hathcote
Family and Consumer Sciences
"Students
are the customers of the University of Georgia,
and my teaching philosophy is to provide them current,
relevant
information, to deliver the material in a variety
of methods, and to have them demonstrate their understanding
in real-world applications."
David
C. Hazinski
Telecommunications
"I
believe in hands-on, active education built upon respect
for
the student and intelligent thought. Lessons
should be simple. Exercises should be hard. Responsibility
should
be inherent and should be taken seriously."
Ronald
W. McClendon
Biological and Agricultural Engineering
"In
high school, I never considered teaching as a career.
My mother taught elementary school and
her complaints about her job convinced me that teaching
was not the choice for
me . . . now, thirty years later, I cannot
possibly imagine myself in a role other than teaching."
Libby
V. Morris
Institute of Higher Education
"Indeed,
the educator teaches the student, not
the content. The instructor should approach the responsibility
to teach – to
bring about learning, to change individuals – with
joy, humility and honor."
Margaret
M. Robinson
Social Work
"Teaching
is a challenge. It is a challenge to
keep students engaged, to keep the material fresh,
to open up young minds. However,
it is also a privilege. When we forget
the privilege part, we lose what is uniquely our job
- the opportunity
to shape and mold future generations."
Timothy
J. Smalley
Horticulture
"I
teach every class, as if my child was in the class,
and treat
every student as I would wish my
child to be treated. This attitude assures that my
students obtain the respect
and caring that they deserve and
fosters an environment conducive to learning."
