  15. Points to Ponder • We teach in DISCONNECTED departments. Learners live in INTERCONNECTED world. • We teach INDEPENDENT lessons. Learners live in INTERDEPENDENT world • We teach learners about OUR PAST, OUR PRESENT AND OUR FUTURE. Learners live in THEIR PRESENT AND THEIR FUTURE • We teach what we KNOW. Learners live to face the UNKNOWN • We teach KNOW WHAT learning. Learners live in KNOW WHERE learning • We tell learners to respect the ULTIMATE SOURCE OF LEARNING: THE TEACHER. Learners can get access to DIFFERENT SOURCES OF LEARNING

  16. So, Remember ... • We prepare students for their FUTURE, not our PRESENT. • We prepare students to succeed in their life, NOT just at school
