Karen Fite

In this class we will look at our own lives as teachers and students and search for the experiences which have reached to our authentic selves, to our "heart place" and helped us to become more truly ourselves, even when we didn't know who we were seeking to become. Based upon our own shared experiences and selected readings from writers like bell hooks, Freire, Myles Horton, Joanna Macy, Parker Palmer, Richard Rodriguez, we will construct our own philosophies of education for what really matters.
