"Effective
teaching is the encouragement of students in a
safe space. It is being aware of visual,
spatial, and auditory differences as well as
individualistic styles of learning. It is also
enabling students to crave a desire to grow and
be challenged by a course鈥檚 material. When
students feel both comfortable and passionate in
an environment with a figure who does not abuse
their power in the space, effective teaching is
at
play." | |
