Send us Fan Mail

What is the role of the teacher’s inner life in purposeful pedagogy?

Themes discussed in this episode:

• A teacher’s inner life forms the foundation of purposeful pedagogy.
• Purposeful pedagogy asks us to care for ourselves as we care for our students
• Your inner life also shapes how students perceive themselves

Reflection Questions:

1. How does your energy or mood influence your students’ engagement?
2. What is one habit or mindset you could cultivate this week to teach more sustainably?
3. In what ways do your personal beliefs and practices model growth for your students?

In our next episode, we will connect the inner life of the teacher with practical studio systems and structures and explore how purpose can guide curriculum, assessment, and lesson design.
