How can I use knowledge of the learner to be a better teacher?
As you know we should never stop learning. "We cannot hold a torch tp light anothers path without brightening our own." -Ben Sweetland I like this quote because it is true, even in class we teach each other. As we learned to put our quotes on the artifacts page, we passed the moose around and taught each other and learned from the one before us. Teachers need to learn strategies to help their pupils progress and pupils need to know that they can teach the teacher, for somebody never knows everything. It's exciting when you learn something new and as I teacher I won't doubt my students instead I'll challenge them to do more than they know and challenge themselves to teach me something I didn't know. I would like to know more about learning to connect with teaching before this class concludes.

I feel if I focus on learning I will succeed as a teacher. Is this true? If we teach as if we can't learn anything else won't we be blinded? I want to be the person that is up for change and discovering new things and in keeping my sunglasses off I will see the light and continue my learning journey.
