My students must experience in my classroom the more just, equitable, and imaginative world they seek to lead.
When teaching, learners become co-equals and partners working collectively to achieve the aims of the course. I believe:
• Young adults deserve an intentional, inclusive, agentic, and rigorous learning environment.
• A classroom is most effective when all students are clear on the multi-faceted goals and objectives of the course, become invested in chosen and personalized versions of these goals, and can clearly articulate how the effort they contribute will help achieve those goals and advance their colleagues’ learning.
• A classroom is most invigorating when it is inclusive and affirming of thoughtful contributions, is focused on the growth of the group as well as the individual, and is engaged in a mutual effort to make meaning of tough content and relevant to the worlds we each value—our educational futures, economic participation and security, political commitments, spiritual life, and our shared environments and institutions.
