We manage to find time for our students, for phone calls home, for report writing and programming all the while letting our engagement with learning slip down the list of things to do. Ensuring your personal learning is a priority is essential
I like this emphasis on the perspective that teachers also need to always be learning as well. To be able to teach effectively, you have to be constantly learning. I think this perspective is especially important in modern times. In today's society, the world changes rapidly and frequently. For instance, there are always ongoing discussions about social issues and these discussions bring to light problems that not everyone may have been previously aware of. We are constantly learning new things about the language we use, people's identities, and implicit biases we may have. It is vital to stay up to date on these conversations and constantly learn, so that you can take such ideas into account when addressing your students.
