Teacher reflections on Participation in Government:
- John reflects on the philosophy that guides his teaching:
"My assumptions are that we are operating in a larger system that promotes spectator democracy..." |
"I don't believe really in objectivity. It is probably a problem I have from being a philosophy major..." |
"The stereotype that I understand, and I have this from participating in various curriculum writing groups around Participation in Government..." |
"Hopefully teachers can learn that they don't have to be constantly dictating to students..." |
- John reflects on students' engagement in this class:
"The ahas are like when students see their work published and they see people responding to it..." |
"It brings a whole new dimension where they can really observe each other's work..." |
