working with individuals
ourselves as workers

The question
we most commonly ask is the what question what subjects shall we teach?
When the
conversation goes a bit deeper, we ask the how question what methods and
techniques are required to teach well?
Occasionally, when it goes deeper still, we ask the
why question for what purposes and to what ends do we teach?
But
seldom, if ever, do we ask the who question who is the self that
teaches? How does the quality of my selfhood form or deform the way I
relate to my students, my subject, my colleagues, my world? How can
educational institutions sustain and deepen the selfhood from which good
teaching comes? Parker J. Palmer
