Teaching Techniques in the Classroom

Sally Kohn: Some of the teaching techniques in your book are not just about how to make a good class, but to make sure that these classes are happening in an equitable way. So starting with the syllabus, though, it really is setting this tone of being active, even if it's not just when you're in class together, she says. And those are structural considerations as well; gender is a structure, right?Kohn: There's all kinds of diversity and equity ways you can include other people. But if the structure is still a reward structure that tacitly and implicitly rewards a certain kind of person, that those kinds of issues won't ever change.
