Martha’s Recommendation

This series of questions is useful to reflect on your goals and methods for teaching. There's a link at the end to further micro-courses on transparency in teaching.

You probably won't strike people as an activist in your classroom if you:

  • teach the methods in your discipline;
  • follow the evidence wherever it leads;
  • stick to your area of expertise; and
  • you don't act personally offended when a student disagrees with you.
