This component of Domain 4 is about keeping up with our knowledge of the content and pedagogy. Through constantly working to stay up to date and communicating with fellow educators, teachers are able to grow and develop into better educators. This is important because there is always something to learn. As a teacher, it is imperative to learn how to take constructive criticism and learn how to learn from others so that we can become better at our profession.
