Knowledge, Learning, Community
Over time, I have been drifting further and further away from saying anything about teachers. That is partially in reaction to the pull, when talking about teaching, to revert to traditional roles and traditional behaviours: presenting, interrogating, evaluating. And it is because I feel I have more useful to say to people (including teachers) about how they can best learn, not how they can best teach. But finally, I feel - along with Will Richardson in this post, and George Siemens, in the post that inspired it - that the 'new role' of a teacher is to be a "master learner", demonstrating by doing, not by telling.
