ABSTRACT
Your enquiry into how you can become a better teacher is, perhaps, being driven by a sense of dissatisfaction with some aspect of your practice. As I said earlier, it may be that your values and your practice are in tension. We (you and I) need to establish what might be at the root of that sense of dissonance. This is one of the first steps you need to take in order to develop your understanding of how you might become the kind of teacher you would like to be. We can assume that underpinning your enquiry is a wish to change and improve so as to develop both what you know, and how you teach. Perhaps you also wish to understand more about education in general. Your enquiry will help you to develop a better appreciation of why you do what you do, and how you will learn to do it better. We may well have also identified two more educational values – intellectual curiosity and professional integrity.
