STATEMENT OF TEACHING AND PEDAGOGICAL PHILOSOPHY

“Theory for Freire is the correlative of critical consciousness; it is not inculcated but is developed and formulated as an essential activity of all learning.”

–Freire & Macedo, Literacy: Reading the Word and the World

Education must not serve merely a rational, functional, or theoretical purpose…it must engender a sense of challenge, growth, and a spiritual nourishing of the soul. There must be a deeper methodology for developing practical tools for students’ use in their everyday lived experiences, especially as students seek to both share and understand the reality of others. Students are the best teachers for no knowledge, no worldview is static…it changes and realizes new potential with added voices and dimensions of younger generations with multiple experiences of historical relevance to society’s future growth and transformation. In my view, as a sociologist, it is my mission to act not only as a teacher, mentor, and facilitator…but as a student and change agent in the academic and non-academic lives of my students, colleagues, and fellow citizens. There are four core concepts in my teaching and pedagogical philosophy:

Active Engagement
Critical Discussion
Reflective Listening
Variance of Method

Active Engagement-involves creating an environment in which students feel safe, comfortable, and capable of listening, speaking, writing and involving themselves in course material, discussion, and assignments. This requires patience and the ability to create a balanced curriculum that invites students in numerous ways to both teach and learn from their respective lived experiences as well as from the course material.

Critical Discussion-allows students to utilize, practice, and refine their communication skills. It additionally instills in students, a sense of awareness about the complex, diverse opinions and worldview of others. Students also begin to understand more as they ask difficult questions about themselves and the world.

Reflective Listening-by attentively listening to and observing the discussion, body language, and written work/communication of my students, I enable myself to be reflective about the varying learning styles and achievement levels of my students within the context of their individual and collective needs. In this way, I can observe, document, and adjust my strategies of instruction and educational partnership.

Variance of Method-stems from the involvement of students as agents in their own education. My ability to assess student performance depends not only on what I “think” I observe, but must also consider what my students tell me they need and want from a course. In this way I can actively seek multiple methods of instruction that work best for any given course or cohort of students. This step specifically involves the development of a teaching method that is sensitive and inclusive of all learners.
