teacher 老师

Teachers can motivate students only if they themselves are motivated. They can make students feel valued and secure only if they feel valued and secure; they can foster enthusiasm for learning in students only if they are enthusiastic about teaching. The school culture can make or break a teacher in the same way that the classroom culture can support or undermine students' efforts to learn."
- from Stipek, Deborah, Motivation to Learn: From Theory to Practice

只有当老师们自己有动力的时候，他们才能激励学生；

只有当老师们自己感受到有价值和安全时，他们才能使学生感受到有价值和安全；

也只有当老师们自己对于教学有热情时，他们才能使学生对学习也有热情。

一个学校的文化可以塑造或毁掉一位教师，同样的，一个班级的文化也可以支持或者打压一个学生去学习的动力。
