Engaged Pedagogy

In Engaged Pedagogy "That learning process comes easiest to those of us who teach who also believe that there is an aspect of our vocation that is sacred; who believe that our work is not merely to share information but to share in the intellectual and spiritual growth of our student" (p67).
This quote sums up the article on Engaged Pedagogy. I agree with Bell hooks idea of teacher are not to just information, they are their to be role model of the students. Hooks felt in some classes professors were like dictators in the classrooms. I agree that a professor should never be seen as dictators in their classrooms. The teachers should always be seen as role model, and student should not fear from their teachers. But then Hooks talks about professors like Freire, whose style of teaching made him improve his weaknesses.
