Further Praxis: Additional Activities for HCP-Informed Classroom Practice
摘要
The praxis activities in this chapter are designed to further support instructors in implementing HCP in the classroom. Here, as always, HCP rewards effort and teamwork over the production of academic content and privileges human connection and knowledge creation in ways that corroborate students’ emotions, worldviews, and personal experiences. The following activities acknowledge the overlap between empathy, wellbeing, and belonging, and so may apply to two or three tenets simultaneously. Our aims are not prescriptive; we’re well aware that teaching contexts vary dramatically (online, hybrid, two-year, four-year, public, private—the list goes on). We welcome adaptation—if not improvement—to these activities in response to institutional limitations and student needs. Often, we don’t reinvent the wheel as much as put a humane twist on staples of the writing classroom. Ideally, these individual activities are conceived of as threads stitched into a comprehensive social fabric. If a class can experiment with multiple iterations of the suggested activities, the practices will reinforce each other. Woven together, they can help instructors and students build more resilient communities.
