With this article (read it here) we connect the knowledge and experiences of two veteran schoolteachers to present-day paradigms of learning and teaching in schools through narrative and arts-informed research processes. By extracting meaning from narratives of teacher experience and reinterpreting those meanings using musical and visual art media and methods, we hope to engage percipients in a form of empathetic participation that may lead to new and/or revitalized conceptions of teaching and learning, inform current pedagogical practices, and enhance teachers’ sense of belonging to an intergenerational community of educators.
