project based learning

In my field placement, we design our units with Project Based Learning (PBL). PBL focuses on students' exploration and application of knowledge and skills in a real world scenario. The goal of project-based learning is to enhance students' critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills.

"As I consider my current and future work as an educator, it is important to understand that young readers are smarter than adults have often given them credit for, and they deserve access to the many complex and diverse topics presented in literature."-Kesi Dumford

"Enacting radical love in our classrooms has become a way to take risks in having conversations about the socio-cultural dynamics embedded i out piition our positionalities and identities of our students. It is an approach in our teaching that helps us stay true to the ideals of critical pedagogical approaches, while still modeling a more humanizing way of teaching and learning for our students. [We] believe that having a position is expected; knowing your position is important; naming one's position is vital; but critically reflecting on how your having, knowing, and naming may impact your interactions with students is the difference between preparing to teach/lead and preparing to be an anti- oppressive pedagogue and leader who will radically love all students." - Nganga& Dougas in "Whats Radical Love Got To Do With It: Navigating Identity, Pedagogy, and Positionality in Pre-Service Education"

"[A] Freirian approach means moving beyond thought and words to action. This is done on the one hand by teachers themselves modeling social responsibility and critical engagement in community and global issues. On the other hand, it means constructing with the students an atmosphere in the classroom and the school where students feel secure and confident enough to interrogate their own realities, see them in a different light, and act on their developing convictions to change their own social reality. In order to do all this, the teachers themselves have to go through a transformative process, breaking the ideological chains of their own formal education, of past training, and the inertia of habit of past teaching."- Robert E. Peterson in "Teaching How to Read the World and Change It: Critical Pedagogy in the Intermediate Grades"
