Teaching can be learning, especially if student curiosity with the question 'What's going on here?' can be elicited.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the very important characteristics of a student is to question. Let the students ask questions.
By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.
We're not trying to be the only route into teaching. We do put enormous energy into understanding what differentiates the most successful teachers.
Something about teaching is curiously attractive, actually. I don't know what it is.
Learning is the new skill. Imagination, creation and asking new questions are at its core.
I think people are attracted to teaching because they want to make a real impact.
What I've come to know is that in life, it's not always the questions we ask, but rather our ability to hear the answers that truly enriches our understanding. Never, never stop learning.
Our experience at Teach For America has been that the more people understand educational inequity, the more they want to do something about it.
As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn't serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can't be taught.
Teaching is the royal road to learning.
