Knowledge emerges only through invention and reinvention, through the restless, impatient, continuing, hopeful inquiry human beings pursue in the world, with the world, and with each other (p. 72). Freire s quote underscores my personal teaching philosophy: that true education takes place through praxis and collaboration. I live and teach to the concept of Ubuntu, that we are not single actors in this world; rather, we are in others as others are in us, in ways that encourage unity and togetherness. As an educator, I am committed to: community; teaching social justice; critical engaged pedagogy; literacy; and cultivating responsive students, who are partners in critical dialogue, Socratic questioners, compassionate listeners, and practitioners of continuous and critical reflection.
