“When education is the practice of freedom, students are not the only ones who are asked to share, to confess. Engaged pedagogy does not seek simply to empower students. Any classroom that employs a holistic model of learning will also be a place where teachers grow and are empowered by the process.” - bell hooks
Teaching Philosophy
My approach to teaching is slow and continuously evolving with each cohort of students. Teaching and leading with my pu’uwai leads me to believe that every encounter is an invitation for imagination and transformation. It enables me to meet students where they are and where I am.
