To Teach, or Not to Teach, That is the Question
Parker J. Palmer’s book, “The Courage to Teach”, explores a teacher’s inner self and how they contribute to the teaching profession. The presentation will utilize the art and the science of teaching through a visual medium. We will begin by evaluating why we teach and come to where we are. Do we have a recollection of our favorite teacher(s)? Do we know what makes them special? Seven focus categories about teaching will be addressed. The lecturer will include his perspectives in sharing own experiences and to recognize the many journeys a teacher makes. Do you worry whether your methods will be criticized by other teachers or being faced with a question from a student that you are not familiar with? Do you feel the years in your teaching profession are exciting or monotone? Do you embrace new ideas or do you restrict them? They are questions as we attempt to channel the power of a subject making communal learning possible. Taking courage into the unknown is what is needed to foster change, promote ideas, and reform for a better future. Interactive discussions will take place throughout the workshop.
