As an educator, my primary goal is to provide students with the tools they need to take responsibility for their own learning outcomes. Throwing out facts and showing examples will only work if the student is also truly engaged in their learning. As such, I try to fashion environments in my classes where students are encouraged to think critically, act on those thoughts, and engage in dynamic yet respectful discourse.
