ABSTRACT
So far, we have looked at a number of strategies and approaches for developing your teaching. In Chapter 2 we focused on selecting appropriate teaching methodologies; then we sought inspiration for our teaching in Chapter 3; and in Chapter 4, we began to think about the process of self-evaluation and review of our practice. Yet, as Mason identifies above, learning from oneself demands the support of others. While this dependence on others in order to learn from oneself may appear to be somewhat incongruous initially, a wider consideration of the situation can help to place it in context. In order to benefit most effectively from our working environments, we need to recognise and value the potential for learning that exists within the resource that is our colleagues and our students.
