In the Moment: Honoring the Teaching and Learning Lived Experience
Theresa Purcell Cone

Abstract:
What is it about teaching that draws teachers to a culture of education? What kinds of experiences influence teachers’ selection of content and pedagogy? It is often the teaching moments that fall outside of the planned course of tasks that become collaborative constructions of the teaching and learning experience. In order to enjoy and benefit from such moments, it is important for teachers to be passionate about their job, be willing to be vulnerable, explore new ways to teach, make the teaching and learning environment exciting, allow students to create content, help students to make connections between their life and the curriculum, and share personal experiences and interests with students to achieve a deeper connection with them.
