Progressive teaching philosophy- Erin Gruwell developed the freedom writers method. This is a strategy that increased students' academic satisfaction, their sense of self-worth, self-assurance, and multicultural and ethnic variety. She encouraged internal motivation by using student-centered learning approaches like hearing their opinions, piquing their interest, prompting them to ask questions, and flexibly honing their problem-solving abilities. She made them feel at home in the classroom which drove their learning.

I feel that is highly relevant as there is still a division between races present in school today. This method could assist with racism issues and make learners understand xenophobia and issues relating to apartheid.
