Quotes from the episode
We were never really trained to have these difficult conversations. We were not really trained as instructors to facilitate these conversations.
-Mylien Duong
It is not realistic to not prepare our students to be civically engaged and be able to engage and work with people who are different from them who don’t share the same beliefs that they do.
-Mylien Duong
My goal is to help students to fully understand students, to help them clarify their own thinking, and to ensure and to help them communicate that to the rest of the class.
