Care In Education
Care in education is to show unconditional support to all students regardless of ethnic background, gender and sexual identify. When we talk about care in education many people think is just to be there physically and teach but care in education is more than just being physically present. Care in education is to constantly look/search for ways to make students feel accepted and wanted. Allow your students to make mistakes and be there as a support system rather than just to critique.
Reading Sonia Nieto's article allowed me to see Care as powerful tool in the classroom. Caring isn't simply to care. Care is demonstrated through action.
I love the photo you attached! The way you describe care is truly what the word examplifies and how all youth spaces should be run.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your post Sonia? I wonder in your classroom space, what do you see as some important caring actions?
ReplyDeleteHi Sonia,
ReplyDeleteI love the image, it is true we always want the best for our love ones. I agree with you that care means supporting regardless the different background people might come from. Nice blog :)
