Reflecting on the Craft of Teaching and Learning: How Experienced Educators Cultivate Authentic, Meaningful, and Inspiring Classroom Communities
Get PDFThis independent study explores the question, “What do educators do to cultivate authentic, meaningful, and inspiring classroom communities?” And, what are the key elements required for educators to sustain an inspired educational career over time? Five lower school teachers and graduate school of education professors were interviewed to explore key threads among these educators who embody strong teaching practices which they have sustained over their career in the field of education. Each interviewee was asked to reflect on their craft and their approach to teaching and learning. Selected findings from three of these interviews are presented. Three themes emerged from these interviews: joy, respect for the learner, and relational teaching. A selective review of the literature was conducted to further explore these three essential elements of good teaching. This experience deepened the author’s self-reflection process as it both reinforced some aspects of her teaching philosophy that existed prior to the study and shifted some of her thinking around what the priorities need to be to have a long and satisfying career in teaching. Both the analysis and conclusion are presented in a podcast format

Disabled Lives & Pandemic Lives: Stories of Human Precarity
Get PDFIn this article, I pay particular attention to four concerns that have come to the fore in startling ways for people worldwide during the pandemic. These include building empathy and community through the struggle to manage the fear of death, acceptance of disappointment and frustration, recognition the importance of being in tune with one’s body, and living with chronic grief. Drawing on stories from my life as a teacher and as a person with a disability, I hope to provide readers with both a way to reflect on the ongoing existential and practical concerns raised by the pandemic, and to argue that now as much as ever, the voices and experiences of those living with disabilities matter

Ungrasping the Other: The Parent, the Child, and the Making of Solidarities. A Response to Esther Ohito
Get PDFThe child reaches forward with his toes, extending to touch the world from the comfort of his mother’s lap. She smiles, wide brown eyes into the camera, left hand resting on her left knee while the index finger of her right hand clinches the child’s overalls near his belly, holding him in place. He smiles, wide eyes into the camera, right hand resting on her right wrist while the index finger of his left hand points forward. He feels the warmth of his mother’s chin resting on his nearly bald head, nested in the safety of her crossed legs. The blades of grass reach up like threads bracing them both to the land. A scribble behind the photo, likely in my abuela’s handwriting, marks the date, 8 noviembre 1972, 48 years ago today
