After nearly twenty years in the business, my hope is that I will not be remembered as a teacher. To teach is to cause to know. It is delivered in single servings void of context. Applications are prescribed.
In contrast, to educate is to persuade to discover. To guide a student to self prescribed application. It is to cause to analyze, to synthesize, to inquire.
In my next twenty years, it is my hope that I will be remembered as an educator.
