Living Poetically

A Teacher’s Credo

  • Chapter
Speaking of Teaching…

Abstract

I have lived my life with love. (Freire, 1993, p. 88) Applicants for wisdom do what I have done: inquire within. (Heraclitus, 2001, p. 51) Love and revolution go together. (Freire, 1993, p. 87) Just as the river where I step is not the same, and is, so I am as I am not. (Heraclitus, 2001, p. 51)
