As an educator, my role is to encourage individual exploration, challenge critical thinking, and frame students’ experiences within a broader world perspective. My role, then, is less about being an expert who dictates content and authority and more about being a facilitator who guides students through learning in the context of their lived experiences. I am a constructivist; I believe that people learn most effectively by being active participants in their own learning process. Engaging in hands-on activities, developing search strategies, and reflecting on their own perceptions help students to become critical thinkers that are prepared to use their knowledge in a real-world setting. In today’s world, information is readily available to students in a myriad of formats, means of production, and trustworthiness. The challenge is not in teaching students how to find information, but instead in teaching them how to be critical, contextual consumers of that information. My greatest calling as an instructor is to help students recognize their responsibilities as citizens, consumers, friends, mentors, and ethical human beings. Teaching them not only how to be more information literate but also why it matters is my instructional goal.
