Although I am employed to teach, I consider it something of a disappointment if I don't learn something myself during my teaching sessions. Some might complain that 'only the expert has a right to teach', or that 'students should not be allowed to go off and find out for themselves', but sadly, this is really missing the point.

One of the principles of pedagogy I learnt very early on in my career was not to privilege teaching above learning. The delivery of content and the instructional aspects of education are, and should always be considered to be, just two components in learning. There's more to education than standing up and teaching.
