I Let My Students Watch Me Struggle With a Masterpiece

Sharing our own curiosity and learning mindsets with our students is a fundamental part of engaging and effective teaching.  As Matt Dinan writes, “If you expect your students to choose books, ideas and genuine learning over shortcuts and distraction, you must be a bit courageous, too. Return to the basics. Cut through the haze of abstraction, the webs of scholarly terminology, the pretense of professionalization, and attempt to recover the basic human experiences that can move us. Remain a student in earnest.”
