I will add to your comments about “how much we can learn while teaching.” I found a reference to the Protégé Effect, which addresses “Why teaching someone else is the best way to learn” (Paul, 2011). Researchers found that “Students enlisted to tutor others,” “work harder to understand the material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively” (Paul, 2011). I believe the Protégé Effect also applies to professors teaching college students.

I really enjoyed your post! The idea of teachers as learners has always stood out to me as well. And it can be a hard thing to do (I am reflecting on my experiences as an instructor), but it is so valuable! One thing that I really appreciate about staying connected to the GEDI class is that I continue to learn each semester. I appreciate getting to hear new perspectives and learn from those taking the class. Thanks for the post!

I really enjoyed your post and I really appreciated your reflections! I think it is so interesting to learn more about other fields and reflect on my own field and see connections between the two. Thanks for the post!

I also really liked your definition and I really appreciated how you then elaborated on each of the elements in your definition! When you read your definition in class, I kept thinking what a great definition it was and how it incorporated so many different elements! So I enjoyed getting a more detailed description. And I loved the Disney ties!

I really enjoyed this post! I love how you all incorporated perspectives from your own fields. It is really interesting to think about how different disciplines might incorporate critical pedagogy and then further reflect on our own disciplines and interdisciplinary collaborations. Thanks for the post!

I agree! This image really stuck out to me too. And it reminded me of the video: I just sued the school system!!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqTTojTija8&t=6s). We tried to watch this video in class but that was the night that none of the technology was working. So I thought I would share it here 🙂

I love the mural and I love that you included a shared whiteboard in this post! What a great way for us all to contribute!

Solid memeing with Morpheus and pals. Easily one of the top 4 word clouds I’ve seen on pedagogy this week!

Awesome use of the whiteboard as a visualization project! I’ve seen a similar concept at William and Mary where Students for a Democratic Society built what they called the free speech grafiti wall. It was Just a series of plywood sheets on posts with racks of spray paint everywhere for people to use.

I really love your definition of critical pedagogy and the breakdown of all the little pieces involved. I especially like the humanistic component that reminds us we need to vulnerable in the classroom. I’m definitely going to keep this in mind.
