Ellen Breeden (an educator in Evanston who I interviewed) mentions that because she knows a fair amount about her student's home-life (more so than the average teacher can say), she can make small, yet crucial changes in how she trusts her students and her own trust with the students. <br /><br />So like anything, i believe that starting small would be the best bet. <br /><br />Also, sadly to say, teachers are ending up to be a secondary parental figure to students. Not to saying that the teacher will employ parental influence on the child but instead, a parental understanding that is as comparable to how parents understand their children is most benificial in learning. I wonder however if there then becomes a bias in what is taught. Not being a parent i don't know this. When we think about it, the best teacher is one that loves the student in a way to make sure that he or she learns all that is possible with out the overprotected aspects of a mommy or daddy. <br /><br />With the lack of desire and enforcement on educators to know anything about their students home-life, there will be very little progress in the trust department. And actually, I take back half of the previous sentence. I can't say that all educations wish they didn't know more about their students but rather the education system that they are in now does not allow them to do so. <br /><br />There is an unfortunate retaliation that is possible though from the student's side. And i have seen this from many students before, where they shut down because they are realizing that a teacher, who they do not trust, is trying to be more involved with their lives. This makes me realize how powerful the discipline based/industrious way of education has really become instinctive almost.joshderbashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07262109282408287485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7214605275374976497.post-29741374668974242492011-11-02T16:12:04.349-07:002011-11-02T16:12:04.349-07:00How do you think you can influence the classroom t...How do you think you can influence the classroom to being trusting and/or inclusive?Cyberpedagogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970592729506436514noreply@blogger.com
