I teach as I learn, and I
learn as I teach
Despite
your knowledge and experience, you, like all of us, are in a constant state of
learning.
Teacher-learners
enter the class with the understanding that they too are there to learn from,
with, and through the students.
Teacher-learners
are not
the
only ones who determine
how
or what we must
know
The
role of the teacher-learner is not that of expert, or explainer
but
of questioner, and facilitator on the journey of understanding
Your
voice is no more, and no less important than those of the
students.
Bring your own knowledge and
experience to the class; but, more importantly, explore past and current
experiences of/with students as a process of drawing out existent knowledge.
Contextualize notions within real-world settings.
