I believe teaching is a practice of freedom, and that \u201cthe classroom remains the most radical space of possibility.\u201d&nbsp; I strive to foster critical thinking and apply critical theories and pedagogies to not only help students better understand the world around them, but to <em>change <\/em>it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I gravitate to Constructivist strategies that involve problem-based learning, active learning, design thinking, and community engagement. Constructivist-centered teaching defies didactic thinking and elitism, in that it positions the student as an active partner and source of power. As such, I seek out ways in which to foster and amplify student voices in the classroom and to provide space to reflect on their experiences as well as see the relevance of what they are learning in their practice settings and daily lives. I support Freire\u2019s assertion that a lecture-based, passive classroom promotes the dominant authority in society and disempowers students.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most of the classes that I teach, I build in community-based learning opportunities to help students translate what they are learning directly into practice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;I view the student-faculty relationship as reciprocal and synergetic: we learn from each other. I also believe, as hooks wrote, that I must \u201cteach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students if [I am] to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin\u201d (p.13)<sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;足彩app哪个是正规的refore, I strive to create a supportive learning community for my students, where they can bring their whole selves, and feel they can question, apply, and refute concepts presented in the classroom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><strong>Global Learning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/faculty-and-students-in-ireland-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"faculty and students in ireland\" class=\"wp-image-28080\" style=\"width:363px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/faculty-and-students-in-ireland-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/faculty-and-students-in-ireland-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/faculty-and-students-in-ireland-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/faculty-and-students-in-ireland-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/faculty-and-students-in-ireland-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/faculty-and-students-in-ireland-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/nhs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2024\/01\/faculty-and-students-in-ireland.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another goal of my teaching is to create global learning opportunities for students to<strong> <\/strong>develop self-awareness of one\u2019s own identity, culture, beliefs and how those connect with the wider world.
