title: Those who can, teach, but who teaches the learners to learn?
abstract: This article was stimulated by Mike Grace's editorial Can those who do--teach? I have been an undergraduate and postgraduate teacher for over 30 years and I agreed with everything that Mike said about the difficulties of combining doing and teaching. The best doers may not make the best teachers and conversely the best teachers are not always incapable of doing, whatever some colleagues may think to the contrary!
