Teachers' Work

"The greatest work I do for my students is my inner work. You know, the Biblical thing of 'Deal with the log in your own eye, rather than the speck in your brother’s eye.'" -Herb Agan

I see many teachers who mistakenly think that great (transformative) teaching is a kind of 'Constantly-Taking-the-Inventory-of-the-Students'.  

A key part of being a teacher that constantly creates opportunities for student development, is the teacher constantly taking her own inventory.
