Teaching Toward Slow Hope

Looking for an inspiring read?  Try this interview with Douglas Haynes about his new book, Teaching for Slow Hope: Place Based Learning in College and Beyond.

Haynes says, “So, when I discuss collaboration in this book, I’m not just talking about assigning students to do more group projects. This, too, is important work that builds students’ communication and listening skills, as well as empathy, organization and more. But I’m trying to expand the scope of how we imagine collaboration in college. What if, for example, we designed campuses, classrooms and courses around how to create relationships, enhance wonder and address community problems rather than around how to convey information?”
