Education cannot be reduced to technique. It flows from
the identity and integrity of the educator.
The human heart is the source of all good teaching
(Palmer 1998: 3)
Teaching
[or youth work], like any other truly human activity, emerges from one's
inwardness, for better for worse. .. When I do not know myself, I cannot
know who my students are... When I do not know myself, I cannot know my
subject. (Palmer 1998: 2)
