Learning is [an Electric] Phenomenon
While in graduate school at Portland State University, I took a class titled Pedagogy and Praxis, taught by artist and educator (as well as future collaborator) M. Michelle Illuminato. She offered a series of assignments exploring “everything you know about learning.” When I went back to school in pursuit of an MFA I had already been teaching at the University level for several years. I took the opportunity to develop a very small publication that reflects on the prompt through the dual roles of teacher and student. The publication outlines a series of core classroom tenets, and while pretty rough, it serves as a good document of what I was thinking about at the time.
Here’s a PDF.
