Respect for learners

This week (10-14 Sep) I co-teach adult education in Bangalore. One of the key principles of learning is Respectful for learners. 

I read a site that describe this idea well. 
Perhaps the most powerful attribute a teacher can attain is respect for students. That's a little different from aspiring to be respected oneself. I know many teachers who seek respect and don't quite get it. I can think of none who've worked consistently to be respectful of students who did not also gain students' respect—and the respect of parents and colleagues.

We also explored in our class what it means to be respectful for learners. We came out with the following.




Today I saw a good paper in a website - Respect for learners: A Christian didactic perspective. Hoping to read later.
