I acted as though I was. That is not something that happens overnight, not something that happens immediately, not something that happens just by asking them what policies they want on their syllabus. [00:40:38] Bonni: I’m thankful to Chris Friend for joining me for today’s conversation. See the things you think you’re going to value about an experience and learning will so rarely match up. I’m going to use the word nurturing here. There were all kinds of assets that might be contained in this class, and essentially by the time you’re done with that, you can see in a relative ease where people perceive they’re going to really value things.

Creatively Teaching Biology, with Lisa Burgess, Idelisa Ayala, & Vanessa Hormann. [00:16:09] Bonni: Literally, if I just ask, because I literally will think in my head, “Oh, they’ve gone to the restroom, they’re not even there anymore.” That I will get the fastest, most universal response.

The thing I want to recommend is that people directly, honestly, and openly address or acknowledge racism in their classes, because you might be surprised that students are hungry for those conversations and we’re not going to be able to do anything about racism if we pretend it doesn’t exist, or if we pretend that it doesn’t apply to our class, or if we pretend that we don’t need to give it any attention, that’s going to allow it to persist, so we all need to talk about it. They are so forgiving when stuff doesn’t happen the way it’s supposed to. He lost his family, he lost access to food. He jumps at any opportunity to give students more control over their own learning and writing. Is that what you meant like that in a string in a row? I would echo back what they said and I would make sure that they understood that I heard what they were talking about and that I agreed and that sort of thing, but then I would insert my own predetermined directions.

When they were little, of course, you grabbed their hand so they don’t run into the street, but they’re well beyond those years. What has that been like for you to learn, to give up some of that control?
