Flexibility
In Design Forward, we talk a lot about flexibiliy and how we go about embracing a more emergent approach to teaching while still designing courses that feel coherent. What is the most rigidly structured class you teach or have taught in the past? If you were going to redesign this class to incorporate more flexibility and space for student choice and agency, how would you start? How do you think it would feel to teach this redesigned class compared to the existing version?
I am new to teaching. As a school counselor prior, my teaching was always student-focused and collaborative. This is my comfort zone. I learned about Restorative Practices and try to facilitate many of my classes in this structure. I think that we learn more from each other than just me sharing my perspective! I may be too flexible at times!
