Love this cartoon.. I am over here cracking up!! it totally ties in everything your saying. I have never heard of Freire before now but i am also grateful for this weeks reading because now my eyes are open to a number of things and with this knowledge i believe we have tools to take to the classroom to engage students critical thinking and have then in turn be brilliant contributors to the community.

Critical pedagogy is significant to the students learning process because the student is able to relate to course material which creates empowerment within students as critically engaged learners as well as exposing other opportunities for students to have the appropriate action that will further enrich our students.

I totally agree with you! teachers should spend more time to prepare lectures in order to engage students interests. Critical pedagogy is all about practice the engagement of a deeper understanding of ones experience in relation to a topic. Through critical self-reflectionstudents are able to understand and actively engage in the topic through their own experiences.

i liked your post. I think it is well organized, clear and precise.

I had one amendment to to make to this bullet however
“I am constantly reminding the students to use the texts we read to make their arguments rather than just speaking from personal experience”

I think it would be more beneficial if you make a statement to students to speak from personal experiences and use the text to reinforce the point that are trying to make. I know at this point I’m probably splitting hairs, we are saying the same thing just in two different ways. to provide a more inclusive environment we need to show students that they can speak form their own experiences (which is what you are allowing in you class) but to use the text to supplement their thoughts and ideas.
Overall great post!

wow, i never knew that the book would publish something called a “racial/ethnic client”. That in itself is establishing a divide! smh thats why there is the need to bring and awareness to inclusiveness in academia.

love the post and love the video.
the video ties it all in!

Wow this is a touching post, i had my cringe moments while reading as well especially for this part “I attribute my lack of (or at least, less present) automatic judgments on people with disabilities to how I was raised. My mom always said to include “disability” at the end of a description; she is a mother “with a disability” or “who has a physical disability” instead of “a disabled mother”. That makes me cringe to even write! I never once viewed her as disabled; I still don’t.”. I totally get where you are coming from, i have a mother who was very ill for a period of time and she needed the aid of a wheelchair. I used o hate when people would stare as you struggle to get through those hard to open double doors.Howeve, Christine, it made us stronger individuals!!!!
