Teaching Redemptively: Apologizing “for real”

^ I write (less often than I should) on a shared blog about Teaching Redemptively. Actually none of us write as often as we’d like, but you’ll find some thoughts over there about what it looks like to intentionally model classroom practices after the Gospel.

This particular post highlights a marvelous blog post by a teacher named JoEllen on what it means to apologize for real, not just to “keep the peace” … and how powerful it is when that’s at work in a classroom.

I write. I design. I read and think. I teach. I talk to people -- all kinds of people. My career journey includes working as a librarian, teaching for over a decade, working in higher education, freelancing as a graphic designer and marketing consultant, and earning a doctorate (as of 2022). My dream job would cross-pollinate the skills of barista and consultant, helping individuals and organizations understand the problems they face, ask better questions, and design solutions that work in their contexts. My research interests include improving STEM education in college classrooms, Design Thinking and human-centered design, relational and collective theories of leadership, knowledge life cycles within organizations, and faculty development. Somewhere back in time, my students started calling me "RameyLady" and the name stuck.
