Afterthought … I’ve been thinking about Deb Gardner’s experience, and how she found that a good teacher can teach you more than just how to paint one picture. A teacher not only directs her students, but also communicates with them. Communication is a two-way street - talking and listening - then the teacher, too, can learn something new. I did in Sheffield on Monday. A point for discussion at the Teacher Development Day in February, may be?
