a lifelong learning experience
"a good language teacher should first and foremost be a good language learner."
From language learner to language teacher
by Don Snow, 2007
"it is also important for english teachers to have extensive experience as language learners because this gives them a better understanding of how to learn languages, helps them empathize with students, and makes them good role models for language learning habits and skills."

LEARNING AND TEACHING AND MANAGING
THERE IS A KIND OF TEACHING THAT IS ALSO A KIND OF LEARNING
It is not just the students who do the learning, but we do as well. We teach and we learn - and the two things are intertwined.
And it is not something you do while you are on an initial training course or while you are a 'green', new teacher. Instead, it is how you could be throughout your teaching career.
One way to keep learning about teaching is to never let your ideas 'set in concrete', to remain open to the possibility of being wrong - or to more interesting alternative ways of doing things, to always be questioning (and possibly changing) some of your ideas.
Keep your mind working on discovering what you believe about how prople learn and how best to enable that.
