Liberation teaching: a response to societal violence.
a. Record an observation of what you believe to be
liberation teaching with a child who is vulnerable for stigma. Why do you think

and any other children? Referring to the text, why do you think the teacher’s
responses were liberating?
b. Interview a teacher about liberation teaching. Ask the
teacher to recall an instance of liberation teaching in his professional
career. What was the situation? What was the teacher’s approach? What were the
outcomes for the child, for the teacher? Compare your findings from the
interview with what the chapter says about liberation teaching

etc.)? When this shame-based feeling is evoked in me, my initial response is to
(e.g., withdraw, eat, drink, become pleasing, lose my temper, etc.)?
