The Risk of Learning (A Link)

Will Richardson talks about how important it is for teachers to be learners, at his blog. He questions whether or not we teach them how to learn. (I came across his blog by way of a post on Christian Long's blog.) I thought that an article that Bud Hunt, from Bud The Teacher, had pubished in the newspaper the Coloradoan today fit really nicely with the importance of learning. Learning makes many people fearful, as Bud points out. If we are going to get teachers to become master learners we have to find a way to help them feel comfortable with the risk of learning.
