“Teaching is like learning an art. It requires depth of experience for self-reflective understanding and continued development. It requires related experiences and deep 
personal involvement. Most important, learning to be a teacher, like learning an art, requires a series of tangible products in which we can review and see, over time, the pattern of our development and the form of our individuality.”
-Burkhart and Neil in Identity and Teacher Learning
