The Privilege of Teaching
Wimberly, Anne E. Streaty
Religious Education, v102 n4 p380-385 Sep 2007
In this article, the author looks back on her journey of teaching, framing it as a privileged fulfillment of the call as a means of inviting others' reflection on the meanings of the teaching vocation. She builds on this framework with personal stories focused on two aspects of teaching from which she has learned much: the pivotal role of story-sharing, and the reality of teacher positionality.
