Beyond the Table: Harkness from a Student's Perspective

What this episode covers

In this episode, Pier Kooistra and Willem Anton explore how the Harkness method of teaching – a discussion-based approach in which students are empowered to think critically, ask informed questions, and collaborate deeply – shows up in all aspects of student life. Willem describes how preparation, careful listening, and considering others’ perspectives are skills he uses throughout his daily life from water polo competition to singing with the Lawrentians.   Stay tuned for future episodes of 18:10 and email us at [email protected] with your ideas or feedback. 18:10 is part of Lawrenceville’s broader effort to engage the community on topics of intrigue and importance, and we look forward to collaborating as we continue our efforts in this area.  Check out episodes of The Lawrenceville School’s podcast, 18:10, now live on Apple and Spotify.
