Engaged Pedagogy By Bell Hooks

"Engaged Pedagogy"p. 69 , Engaged Pedagogy, Bell Hooks
I began by looking in the dictionary to find out exactly want the word pedagogy means "science of learning" after reading the meaning I had better understanding of the article. I believe that we all start with a desire to be. What is to be? To be a doctor, lawyer, social worker and in the case of the author, she wanted to be a teacher. She not only wanted to teach her students, she wanted to help them in other areas of life to have what she called a" Progressive, holistic education"( p.69).

I agree an education should teach you more so that in the process of learning you find yourself.
Bell Hooks used the words "freedom and free of experiences and biases" p.69 She questioned
if "engaged Pedagogy" should include teaching students to evolve into a complete self, I believe that all this and more should be taught by teachers.
