Principals, administration, and teachers must be life-long learners! When students see that their school's staff and facility are learned individuals who desire to continue learning, the students will in turn desire to discover new ideas, information, and knowledge.
I think that it is important to be a life-long learner in many areas of life. It is important to be a life-long learner spiritually, because we can never know enough about God and His character. It's important to be a life-long learner as an educator, because educational practices are constantly changing. It's important to be a life-long learner in general because that makes you a more interesting person.
ReplyDeleteAs with ones spiritual life, if you are not progressing forward you are backsliding. In the academic field if one is not proactively keeping abreast of what is out there, the continuous shifts in education will leave one behind quickly. It is a good example also to the students, parents, and peers for a teacher to contine to learn.
