Favorite thing about teaching:

When learning promotes connections between people. When learning is an exchange between students and faculty. When faculty and students feel empowered to create change in the social world.

Engaged Pedagogy: an approach to teaching and learning that supports teachers as reflective practitioners, as transformative intellectuals, and as whole, passionate, caring people. A philosophy and scholarship of disclosure that welcomes, cultivates and integrates each class member's contribution.
