Tim Gunn: The Natty Professor: A Master Class on Mentoring, Motivating, and Making It Work!

"Teachers who save us from ignorance should be given the glory (and income!) of open-heart surgeons."
"Some people believe in being 'practical,' and only studying things that will prepare us for the exact job we will have. But I believe that education should broaden our horizons. Nothing we learn that we care about is ever wasted."
"Teaching is undervalued and underpaid in this country. To all the classroom teachers out there: bless you. To all the eager students and supportive schools and parents who make those teachers' lives easier and more fulfilling: bless you, too."
"...being a teacher isn't just a job, it's a lifestyle, and civilians can live it, too."
"Mistakes are so valuable, providing you learn from them."
"I never tell the Project Runway designers what fabric they should have chosen, or what they should have done with the past three hours, any more than I would tell them they should be taller. You have to meet people where they are."
"There is such a thing as being overprepared for a class. You don't want to come in with all the answers. You want to make your students work. You're a guide. You're a mentor and a leader. You're not Google."
"...teaching and learning are both deeply human endeavors that require a lot of mistakes to get right."
"Someone interviewing me the other day said, 'Does it get to be a drag to be _on_ all the time?' 'No,' I said, but it's a responsibility. If you're going to sleepwalk through an event, you shouldn't go. You owe it to everyone to be present in the moment, to participate fully. Otherwise, don't go! Does some of it require a lot of acting? Yes!' We have to show up and shine."
