Have you ever paused to observe how you learn best? Do you stop to reflect on the environments that are most conducive for learning? If you are in a typical classroom—it’s easy to forget.
Author Erika Christakis is challenging educators to re-think their pedagogy. She’s asking parents to re-think the family calendar. She’s pushing coaches to evaluate the productivity of their team practices. You may remember Erika’s name. She stepped into the spotlight last fall, as a Yale lecturer, when her college basically told students what costumes to avoid on Halloween. Christakis suggested that perhaps we should expect these young adults to figure out what was offensive on their own. Must we really tell them how to behave at this point? When several Yale students accused her of being racially insensitive and demanded she step down, she told The Washington Post, “I worry that the current climate at Yale is not, in my view, conducive to the civil dialogue and open inquiry required to solve our urgent societal problems.”
