Teaching goes beyond sharing knowledge—it is about mentoring students to grow into socially responsible leaders who shape healthier, more inclusive workplaces.
Barnes-Walker, Dominique
“The exciting aspect of creating a classroom community where there is respect for individual voices is that there is infinitely more feedback because students do feel free to talk — and talk back. And, yes, often this feedback is critical. Moving away from the need for immediate affirmation was crucial to my growth as a teacher. I learned to respect that shifting paradigms or sharing knowledge in new ways challenges; it takes time for students to experience that challenge as positive.” – bell hooks
