Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.

Teachers are charged with preparing the next generation who will be tasked with being stewards of the world. Teachers can lecture about the skills that are necessary for adulthood, they can drill, and test them on these skills, or they can engage them in learning that makes a significant contribution to their community and the world in which they live.
