"Engaged pedagogy", writes bell hooks, "does not seek simply to empower students. Any classroom that employs a holistic model of learning will also be a place where teachers grow, and are empowered by the process." We invite students to consider writing a blog post about their field experience over the summer. What questions are they holding? This piece is an attempt to participate holistically. In this process, I have come to also experience what Krista Tippet refers to as "living the questions". Here's to continued and collective learning!
Jocelyn Chu on takeaways from the recent Delta Directions Regional Forum in Clarksdale, Mississippi. How ingrained a prevailing deficit-focused narrative can be - and the power of a new and more complete narrative of strength, hope, creativity, and opportunity. We met some incredible people and enjoyed reconnecting with friends! Bizu Gelaye Ken Ong Jillian Morrison Linda Southward John Green Alysha Johnson Williams Andrew Bell, Jr.
