In Éductive’s article Pedagogical Humility , Annie Lapierre shares her vision of teaching based on humility, listening and collaboration with the student population. Drawing on her experience with First Peoples, she stresses the importance of recognizing one’s own limitations and opening up to learners’ perspectives in order to co-construct inclusive learning environments.
In this article, she outlines concrete strategies for soliciting and integrating student feedback, adapting teaching and assessment methods according to expressed needs, and valuing each individual’s cultural knowledge.
Pedagogical humility involves developing a strong relationship with students even before the teaching begins and before thinking of discussing any concepts in class. Some people don’t need this to learn efficiently, but many do. A solid relationship can be the key to students accepting criticism from our feedback regarding their learning. (Éductive, 2024)
