A Teacher's Indispensable Qualities: From Fourth Letter "Teachers as Cultural Workers"
- "On The Indispensable Qualities of Progressive Teachers for Their Better Performance"
- demonstrate humility
-- recognizing no one is all knowing or all-ignorant
-- courage,, self-confidence, self-respect and respect for others
- use common sense
-- auxillary of humility
-- manifested as insecure security
- manifest lovingness
-- armed love
-- ready to fight for justice with endurance
- develop courage
-- figth and love
-- educate and conquer your fear
- exhibit tolerance
-- learn from and respect differences
-- honor questioning, within confines of discipline and ethics
- cultivate decisiveness
-- making decisions without disregarding dialog
- build personal security
-- building knowledge to support decisions and actions
-- do the right thing
-- don't be too certain of our certainties
- express impatient patience
-- living in a permanent tension between patience/permissiveness and impatience/blind action
- display verbal parsimony
-- don't lose control of yourself
-- don't let passions overreach your ideas and discredit them (in a sense)
-- we must grow to fit into that culture so we can argue within that culture
- pursue the joy of living
-- must have hope, happiness and joy to engage in the struggle before you
-- people who are unhappy and pessimistic draw few to their cause
a paradoxical statement is not the same as an inconsistency
Book reviews are due next week, hardcopy please!
- Journal of Thought will publish in about 2 years an issue dedicated to Feire
Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Preface)
- People will often sacrifice freedom so they can feel comfortable
- sectarianism: pejoritive / derogatory term used in a descriptive sense to describe usually a small group of people
- to be sectarian implies certain things
-- sectarians often make their own truth and believe everyone else is lying
-- circle of certainty: history, truth, future, reality
Freire criticizes those who have circles of certainty
- analyze whether you have a circle of certainty
- Freire would respond he is not as much of a captive to / imprisoned by his circle of certainty
-- he has certainties, but they are not unquestionable
are 2 different types of circles of certainty
- circles of content
- prima facia issues: human value, democracy
idea of open-mindedness and humans in society
- knowledge and truth is something publically constructed, something that grows
BIG CHANGE!
- Book Reviews NOT due next week!
- Due Nov 8th!
Next week's reading:
- Pedagogy of Oppressed: Chapter 1 (already done)
- Christina Ch 11 and 16
- Finish "Teachers as Cultural Workers" for next week's tutorial (just me)
