"There is no recipe to be a great teacher, that’s what is unique about them." ― Robert Sternberg Topic(s): Teacher More From Robert Sternberg "ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so, one could blame the companies, but really, economically, they have no incentive to change things very much because they’re getting the business." "Well, first of all, we did lots of studies where we show practical intelligence doesn’t correlate with G. We have probably two dozen studies that practical intelligence better predicts job success than IQ." "If you’re not adapting to the very rapidly changing environment, if you can’t think creatively, you lose big in this society because there are very few jobs for you left."

I needed a gimmick to get my act going again, it gave me material."― Tommy Chong "Therefore, a person should first be changed by a teacher’s instructions, and guided by principles of ritual. Only then can he observe the rules of courtesy and humility, obey the conventions and rules of society, and achieve order."― Xun Zi "I would say that American poetry has always been a poetry of personal testimony."― Mark Strand
