In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years.
~Jacques Barzun
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater. ~Gail Godwin
The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. ~William Arthur Ward
Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.
~John Cotton Dana
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know. ~Simone Weil
There are three things to remember when teaching: know your stuff; know whom you are stuffing; and then stuff them elegantly. ~Lola May

Crab Mentality is a phrase coined by writer Ninotchka Rosca to refer to the Filipino extrinsic behavior in an attempt to "pull down" or negate any member of the group who achieves success beyond others, out of envy, conspiracy or competitive feelings.

But we, classmates of the M. Ed. - ESL program of the University of the Philippines Cebu 2012, envision for a paradigm shift within ourselves - to think that instead of pulling "crabs in the bucket," we should "push" everyone up and walk side-ward with each other in the goal of promoting the dynamic teaching of ESL in Philippine context. The materials in this site are designed by the authors, sparking critical thinking and creativity to students.
