My Understanding

This too is an important principle. Being a strong teacher involves collaboration with colleagues. It includes attending workshops or taking classes. A great teacher is one who asks questions and is always willing to learn more. It is also important for teachers to understand their professional expectations and to understand the school they work in; which also leads back to honoring diversity.
