The purpose of teaching is to deliver education that will produce citizens – shining pebbles in the social mosaic – who can be useful to themselves and to others. Those citizens will need to be aware of what is right, what is ethical, and what is ecological.

Through education citizens will be led by their own moral subconscious alone, making external rules on ethical behavior unnecessary. This is where the role of the educators/teachers comes in, from Pre-K to Post-Doc, to instill into the recipients of education a community spirit and social responsibility.

To address today’s needs, education has to be continuous and interdisciplinary, where the principle of lifelong-learning should serve as the cornerstone of any individual philosophy.

Education can be viewed as two-tier; for personal development and for the acquisition of employable skills. The former is for character development and is more or less static, while the latter is a dynamic one, aiming at the individual’s integration into the society’s workforce.

The responsibility of the teacher is to provide knowledge and skills that will enable the individual to serve the society for the immediate and near future, as well as to prepare the individual for lifelong-learning.

To fulfill this responsibility the teachers must be themselves aware of the trends in the various areas in which education is being offered. This awareness can be acquired through continuous collaboration with industry, business and government – the eventual employers of the graduates.

Technology - the ever-advancing infrastructure that maximizes the productivity of the utilized resources - can play a very important role in the educational process.

Teaching in an academic setting is the art, or science, of utilizing all tangible and intangible resources to best convey the intended education to the student recipients.At the same time the teaching resources, physical and intellectual need be continuously updated to reflect the social and technological evolution.

Teaching’s ultimate objective is to create professionals who can successfully tackle the globalization problems of today, and gainfully capture the opportunities of tomorrow.
