“The idea is to be creative about what you wanna get across, about the curriculum, about your overall goals, and about how you can bridge those goals with the goals or interests of your students. Rather than saying, ‘I'm going to sit here and wait for students to come to me.’ How do you create that equal bridge where students are coming with their interests, you're coming with your goals and interests, how do you actually meet in the middle?"
