Metaphor as Renewal: Re-Imagining Our Professional Selves.
Gillis, Candida; Johnson, Cheryl L.
English Journal, v91 n6 p37-43 Jul 2002
Considers that how educators see themselves as teachers of English depends on many things: culture, gender, and experiences. Notes that the metaphors constructed to describe their teaching lives arise from the teachers they have known, from their knowledge of pedagogy, and from their relationships to literature, language, and writing.
