In chapter 3 of We Make the Road by Walking, Horton emphasizes that the educator should not be an expert. On pg. 129 he stated about his lawyer friend, " I didn't want the expert to tell them what to do, I wanted the expert to tell them the facts, and let them decide what to do." Are you conscious of this notion as an educator and how do you go about not imposing but shedding light on a subject so that those you are educating come to their own conclusions? Why is this so important?

If there is a difference between educating and organizing, how do you categorize your school, your district, or even modern day education as a whole?

Myles Horton states on page 103: “I’ve been concerned more with structural changes than I have with changing hearts of people.” What does this quote mean to you? https://padlet.com/MiriamMartinez2020/xs426wvqtwau3wia/wish/2127544927 2022-04-03 21:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/MiriamMartinez2020/xs426wvqtwau3wia/wish/2127544927 4. Paolo Freire emphasizes on page 188: “The teacher has to let the kids know that he or she also fights for his or her freedom in another dimension of life - for example, to get a much better salary. The students have to learn with the teacher that teachers also fight in order to free themselves.” How do you connect with this quotation? https://padlet.com/MiriamMartinez2020/xs426wvqtwau3wia/wish/2127545374 2022-04-03 21:54:38 UTC https://padlet.com/MiriamMartinez2020/xs426wvqtwau3wia/wish/2127545374 5. On page 145, Freire states "It has always been a political question, not exclusively an educational question, at what levels students take part in the process of organizing the curriculum." How do we include students to in the process of being educated? How are teachers in your district included in the creation the curriculum for the school year? mshadoan https://padlet.com/MiriamMartinez2020/xs426wvqtwau3wia/wish/2127560192 2022-04-03 22:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/MiriamMartinez2020/xs426wvqtwau3wia/wish/2127560192 So I'm asking this question because it can be a cause of friction in many situations. This comes from page 146, when you know something really well and others around you don't but claim to, how do you ask the right questions in order to get your knowledge across without making others feel dumb or defensive? mshadoan https://padlet.com/MiriamMartinez2020/xs426wvqtwau3wia/wish/2127572675 2022-04-03 22:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/MiriamMartinez2020/xs426wvqtwau3wia/wish/2127572675
