Just finished James Beane's A Reason to Teach Creating Classrooms of Dignity and Hope (Teaching the Democratic Way). I was tired of taking notes, so I decided to tweet my thoughts and favorite quotes while I was reading and organized some of them below using Storify. Bean makes some compelling arguments as to why teachers should be teaching in a democratic way which includes giving the students a say in what they're taught, how they're taught, and how they're evaluated. It's reinforcing everything I'm learning about autonomy in the classroom and using problem based learning to make learning engaging, relevant, and reflective of society.
