ABSTRACT

How can a teacher’s choice to reframe their role as teacher be understood as an act of agency? Examples from the text to explore include the following:

Change in terminology from “teacher” to “facilitator”

Not a “knowledge dispenser” but a knowledge facilitator and co-learner

“Students could be mistaken but never wrong”

Teachers were “enablers not persuaders”

“Humanizing relations in the classroom” and “ratification of self and embrace of students’ thoughts”
