To end our week, one more quote from @JamaicaBaldwin: “to be an effective teacher...is [to be] able to engage challenging material within the classroom with compassion, honesty, and vulnerability.” Read Baldwin’s “Pedagogy as Risk: A Manifesto” in the upcoming 30.2 issue of WOE!

[Writing on the Edge @woejournal]

To be the best teacher she can be, WOE author @jamaicabaldwin “plan[s] to practice...a way of opening up, a way of living just a little more dangerously in order for [her] students to find the space they need to be more present, more vulnerable, more fully alive.”

[Writing on the Edge @woejournal]

In our upcoming issue of WOE, Jamaica Baldwin shares the complexities and struggles of being “one of the very few women and people of color” teaching college-level writing #ChooseToChallenge
Stay tuned this week for more quotes from @jamaicabaldwin!
