The Power of Paradox
Facilitator(s): Eleanor Ritter


Workshop   +   Classroom Practice: curriculum & instruction   +   Everyone
Paradoxes inherent in teaching and learning are powerful. However, the power of a paradox can stop us as well as propel us. "It is my duty to structure the class, AND students learn best when they control their own learning." "Facts are safe yet tedious AND emotions are unpredictable yet energizing." "Some days I feel like a genius, AND some days I feel like a fraud." In this workshop, we will explore how conscious awareness of paradoxes gives us the key to view them as powerful allies. As participants, you will use both suggested techniques and your own imagination. Practice on paradoxes common to us all, and unique to you.
