working abstract

This still needs some work, finished product comming by thursday

Abstract: Teaching for Change: Reflections on Empowerment and Action in Education.

Teaching for Change explores the work being done in the fields of alternative, critical and radical pedagogy and makes use of the theoretical frameworks and best practices provided by such to create a context for analysis and critique of my student teaching experience. I propose that a model of learning which relies heavily on experiential education, reflection and student autonomy is best suited for achieving the goal of transformative education and that this type of educational process is germane to the misaligned condition of higher education today.

I don't know if it was your topic that people started talking about some method of teaching that was part interdisciplinary and used in Guilford county schools, but that sounded really interesting. You should look into that and incorporate it if it fits into your overall topic. What was it called again?
