Is she preparing her lesson to teach or reviewing her notes to learn ?

Teaching and learning are vital processes in survival as they comprise the very foundations of growth. Both methods are necessary in achieving development by seeking to actualize significant changes in behaviors. Teaching can be defined as the act of giving lessons on a subject to a class or pupils. It aims at showing the student how to do something. Teaching can occur both formally and informally. Learning can be defined as knowledge gained through study. This does not necessarily denote the acquisition of information, but can also be skills, behaviors, values as well. Human beings engage in the process of learning from birth till death.

As mostly agreed  that teaching takes both talent and skills to be effective , we can never estimate the love and passion we out into teaching . The same is applicable on learning . As said if sending your son to Macdonald would make him a burger , sending him to school would make him genius if he does not want so . But as it has been prover that learners can get smart if they want to , it means that learners should be willing to learn .

Yet teaching can be an excellent way of learning as well . To be an effective teacher , one should be well prepared with the required material and always backed up with additional information just like an armored soldier going to a battle field . With a major difference that students are not enemies but they are big responsibility and teachers are the one who are in charge and responsible for every single info shared . Thus while preparing , teachers would be learning a lot. Even while explaining they would be learning . The way students perceive the lessons and share their ideas and knowledge are as well an important source of learning .

So the more we work the more influence we have , the more we learn . It is a cycle .It is a worthy and fun one .
