When to Teach: Moving From Knowledge Holder to Human Connection

from The Intentional ECE · host Cathy Belgrave

What does it look like when we move away from the image of the teacher as knowledge holder - towards something more human, relational, more present? In this episode, I explore the question of when to teach - weaving together ideas from Suzanne Axelsson, Gai Lindsay's Art, Play and Inquiry, and Parker Palmer's The Courage to Teach alongside two stories from my own practice. This is an episode about identity, integrity, and the evolution that teaching asks of us.Resources:The Original Learning Approach by Suzanne AxelssonArt, Play and Inquiry by Gai Lindsay, Sarah Probine, Rachel Denee, Denise Savins
