TEACHING PHILOSOPHY-REVISED 2020
Teaching for many years has shown me that for classes in composition and rhetoric my approach has moved from intensive lecture and discussion of writing to more of a workshop/portfolio assessment mentality. By this I mean that students do more writing and rewriting than they would if we spent a great deal of time discussing contemporary issues that pertain to argument and writing strategies. Because the course content can get stale at times and students do not always respond well to contemporary essays on race, gender and politics the teacher must adjust to the post high school mindset that is not always ready to open up and look for grey areas. By using more workshop and personal sessions to work on their writing and allowing them in small groups to talk about the issues, I find students tend to broaden their views in the collaborative environment with their peer groups better than they would in an open classroom forum. I feel that composition classes offer this where other disciplines that I am more adept and more trained for-literature, film and history-allow for the classroom to be an open forum with more attention to class discussion and debate.
Teaching literature using film and history is most important for my literature classes. I like to see my students find “uncomfortable” readings such as Capote’s In Cold Blood, Spiegelman's Maus I, and O’Connor’s A Good Man is Hard to Find for example, disturbing yet freeing in the sense that I try to make them see literature for what it is-a mirror into our dark side as well as a tunnel for the light. I do find that students find my classes open for interpretation and the historical aspect keeps them grounded in the period of the story or film so they cannot go too far off course in their “creative” interplay with language and history. Discipline comes from experience for student and teacher and my teaching method has become more structured and more attuned to fairness in response with attention to keeping the line between teacher and student firmly in place. Like all my classes, I believe in effort and rewriting to perfect a standard I am happy with and the student feels helps him move to the next level. I usually try to grade students in an upward stance-not to be easy-but to help freshman and sophomores not lose their bearings and feel they cannot compete. By allowing them to get good grades now I feel many who would have fallen by the wayside may realize that as they move in to the upper levels it will become more difficult and by making their path a little less strenuous in terms of number crunching they see this and become stronger students in their junior and senior years.
