This blog is really interesting on testing you as a teacher to see what you give your students and what you are missing. You could go on the offence and say you don't agree with this blog or parts of becoming a whole teacher.
I agree with what is said and that teachers need to be more whole and give the students a voice in the classroom. Students need to be challenged with questions and discuss about these questions to get a solution. Discussion helps deeper learning and the teacher isn't always going to be there for the student to spoon feed the student. But with giving a student a voice, you as a teacher have to be flexible and the student's peers have to be flexible so respect is key. I thought this topic was a good summary of today's teacher.

Interesting chart on that post, worth looking at.
