Teaching Is An Art Form
When we think of artists, we usually think of painters, musicians, or actors, we do not think of teachers. However, teaching well requires every bit as much skill as these other professions.
In this session David Fisher draws on his personal experience of working on stage and in film to compare the skill of teaching to the skills employed by other types of artist. This leads to the conclusion that teaching is indeed an art form.
David is the founder and director of The Bear Educational Theatre in Prague, the longest-running English theatre in the region. He has worked as an English teacher and teacher-trainer. He is also a professional actor with over fifty professional theatre and film credits.
David specializes in taking practices from the world of entertainment and applying them to classroom teaching. He believes that teaching is more effective if it is entertaining.
A Christmas Wish for Teachers
To all who guide with patient grace,
Who light the path and hold the space,
This season calls for rest, for peace,
Let hurried days and tasks now cease.
May calmness wrap you, soft and warm,
Through winter’s stillness, free from harm.
Let quiet moments mend and heal,
A gentle pause, a time to feel.
And when the new year starts to call,
May you return, refreshed through all,
With hearts renewed, both kind and strong—
The world needs teachers to carry on.
Merry Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
