EDUT 5383 Teaching with Heart and High Expectations

TEACHING WITH HEART AND HIGH EXPECTATIONS

Transform your teaching to encourage student growth and re-energize your enthusiasm for education! Drawing from Franita Ware's insightful and powerful book, Warm Demander Teachers: Healthy, Whole, and Transformational, you will explore what it means to be a teacher who balances heartfelt care with high expectations. Discover how Warm Demander pedagogy positively impacts BIPOC–and all–students by exploring your own racial and cultural identity. Challenge yourself to consider how your beliefs and biases shape your teaching, and take on the topic of radical self-care. Connect theory to practice as you study inspiring, real-life Warm Demander teachers and commit to cultivating joy in your classroom. Join us to become the impactful, warm, and demanding educator you're meant to be.
