Teaching Metaphor
Teaching is like charting the stars in the sky
Stars are a constant part of the night sky. They can be used to navigate position. They assist the moon in providing light for beings in our galaxy.
Constellations vary form culture to culture. Humans have used constellations as devices to preserve history to inspire imagination, to explain phenomena. They vary from culture to culture.
A teacher is like someone charting constellations. The constellations you see and chart are dependent on the culture you come form, but they can be used to help us remember star positions. to understand the night sky, and our position under it. it is important for teachers to help student s understand school as a tool for accessing and navigating under the greater light and that cultural learning is good as long as we remember that it si not the ends but rather a means to finding greater truth and light.
