Teachers teach students, that's our job. We think about how we teach, reflect on our teaching afterwards, try different approaches and techniques, reflect and evaluate again. We learn as we are doing all this.
What happens when teachers are the learners? I sometimes feel out on a limb as a learner. Tethered by a sometimes-thick, sometimes thin rope to the tree of understanding. Sometimes I'm content with my learning, but more often I'm either exhausted and a bit confused or exhilarated. I don't seem to occupy middle ground often. So, as I swing on my tether, I prefer the exhilarated side. . . but think the confused side leads to understanding. Maybe I need to embrace and trust the whole process as learning. Maybe being so very tired will fly away.
