The Open Door welcomes special guest Theodore Rebard, a professor of philosophy from the University of St. Thomas, in Houston. He’ll lead us in a discussion on “Undergraduate Teaching: Promise and Peril.”
Our questions include the following.
Can you share some of your teaching successes?
What made them possible?
What are the main obstacles that you face in teaching?
Can you identify some of their causes?
C.S. Lewis said that the “task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles but to irrigate deserts.’ Is that true today?
From the new platform of the American Solidarity Party:
“Education is vital to the formation of the human person and the good of society [and so] the American Solidarity Party advocates for affordable, diverse, and well-rounded educational options” and “public support of both public and private schools, with a preferential option for economically disadvantaged students and an emphasis on making teaching a well-paying occupation.”
Do you agree, disagree, or find yourself “creatively ruminating” about the above? (September 20, 2019)
