unfolding of the story is an eagerness to want to teach better—to reach more students
more effectively and more compassionately.
For this reason, teaching is perhaps best served by teachers’ cultivating an attitude
of inquiry (Larsen-Freeman 2000). Much is unknown about the teaching–learning
process, and those teachers who approach it as a mystery to be solved (recognizing
that some aspects of teaching and learning may be forever beyond explanation) will
see their teaching as a source of continuing professional renewal and refreshment.
