the identity and integrity of the educator

Good teaching cannot reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher. Parker J. Palmer (1998).

Be patterns, be examples in all countries, places, islands, nations, wherever you come; that your carriage and life may preach among all sorts of people, and to them; then you will come to walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in every one. (George Fox 1656)

Educators must be hopeful.
