We are in the teaching business and constantly think about how to best teach our students. We also live in a time of political polarization. With that in mind, this piece in The Conversation caught my eye. The bottom line:
“Beyond [the] evidence of political polarization, . . . there’s another, less divisive reality. Ask people to name their best teacher, and regardless of their political affiliation, they will likely offer a similar answer. Most people will say that they learned a lot from a teacher who knew them, cared about them and made learning relevant to their lives.” (bold added).
