Palmer J Parker: Courage To Teach

Palmer J Parker offers immodest proposals regarding the education of a new professional:

1. We must help our students debunk the myth that institutions possess autonomous, even ultimate, power over our lives.
2. We must validate the importance of our students’ emotions as well as their intellect.
3. We must teach our students how to “mine” their emotions for knowledge.
4. We must teach them how to cultivate a community for the sake of both knowing and doing.
5. We must teach—and model for—our students what it means to be on the journey toward “an undivided life.” I want to examine this one by one.
