Episode 4: We find our way together.


Listen Later

Drew Casper is another trained expert, a psychologist, who left his practice to go into teaching the community. In my conversation with Drew, you can hear the myriad subtle and deliberate ways he's observing his classes and individual students and responding to needs as they arise. The humanist base of Drew's teaching philosophy is crystal clear: the humanity of his students comes first - and his own humanity is present with theirs. As we talk, you'll hear how his habits of reflection and inquiry allow him to better reach his students. He's also willing to talk about handling mistakes in the classroom and handling student crises, which college instructors are often witness to. His years in the classroom have lead to big changes in his teaching methods as he's discovered who he wants to be as an instructor and how he finds his students learn best.
