To teach in a manner that respects and cares for the souls of our students is essential if we are to provide the necessary conditions where learning can most deeply and intimately begin.

~ bell hooks

 

(T)he eager teachers do appear and reappear teachers who provoke learners to pose their own questions, to teach themselves, to go at their own pace, to name their worlds. Young learners have to be noticed, it is now being realized; they have to be consulted; they have to question why.

~ Maxine Greene

 

Actively to participate in the making of knowledge is the highest prerogative of man [sic] and the only warrant of his [sic] freedom.

~ John Dewey
