Confessions of a learner-educator in the making!
“I cannot be a teacher without exposing who I am” – Paulo Friere
As an educator, I resonate with the words of the Brazilian pedagogue who emphasizes the importance of critical consciousness and reflection. It is only through dialogues with yourself and the world that you can truly explore the possibilities for a change that you would want to see in the world.
Teaching and learning provide you with a space to explore various facets of your being through ‘Inquiry, Action and Refection’. Through positive interactions and dialogues, an individual starts to nudge his/ her limits to explore the unknown and question the known.
At the heart of this exploration lies the relationship building between yourself and the learners. These are empowering bonds that pave the way for children to be critical conscious beings.
This blog is my attempt to share my journey with the learning community.
