Description
Summary:In this reflection, we discuss our experience of engaging in collaborative teaching underpinned by principles of democratic pedagogy in a new bachelor degree aimed at leadership for social action. By collectively developing a common pedagogical framework for a select group of core courses within the degree, our intent was to provide a consistent and coherent approach to teaching and learning.
