Discourse Two

Abstract

This imaginative discourse includes three characters from the proceeding chapters and me. We further discuss together issues and conflicts that arose within the chapters. The dialogue of the characters is genuine as it is taken directly from its original sources. Authentic words of the literature are re-imagined within the context of a conversation about the intrinsic realities, fears, and aspirations of educators. My earlier discourse with Henry Fleming, Jean Valjean, and St. Jimmy ended with the following idea: Instead of focusing on teaching and learning that journeys from the outside-in, let’s consider teaching and learning that emanates from the inside out.
