Nature of a Teacher

Kuma discusses what is the nature of a teacher and the type of teachers there are. He catagorized how teachers view themselves as passive technicians, reflective practitioners, and transformative intellectuals. This got me thinking about how I view myself. At this point in my education I see myself fall under a reflective practitioner. The majority if not all teachers share some attributes from each catagory and are not fully placed in one place. "Learnign to teach does not end with obtaining a diploma or a degree in teacher education but is an ongoing process throughout one's teaching career. Reflecting on teaching will show what you know or do not know about teaching.
