Foreword / iv
The greatest lessons I ever learned about teaching have been generated from my learners. It started with a second grader, when through his genuine question of wonder “How long is a million seconds?” (to which I did not know the answer), real teaching began. I learned from him that the best instructional ideas and learning goals come from the learners themselves, as I crafted a lesson that that transformed his query (and now mine) from an abstract concept into an exciting discovery, meta-learning process with concrete results (for myself and the students). My learning about teaching as a complementary relationship and synergistic, reciprocal process began at this point and continued. I learned from third graders to never assume you understand others' perspectives - you must prod with questions that allow students to explain in their own words and then listen intently and emphatically. From fourth graders I learned that allowing them to take the lead will get us all farther in our learning than me always heading the pack. I learned from fifth graders that I will always have limits to my teaching effectiveness, but those limits serve as my own learning goals. I learned from my students with special needs that everyone wants to belong. I learned from gifted students that most of them are smarter than their teachers. I learned from students with behavioral challenges that "mistakes" often lead to greater learning insights than just following directions. I learned from undergraduates that how you make them feel as learners has more of a sustaining impact on their academic progress than just presenting the content. I learned from graduate students that age does not diminish one’s desire to "play" with instructional strategies. I learned from doctoral students that "paying it forward" is returned exponentially.

These lessons learned reveal the importance of how educators’ awareness of their own and their learners’ perceptions, identities, motivations, attitudes and dispositions, as well as, ideologies and beliefs, impact teaching and the learning process. Individual worldviews are complex in that they are all unique, never static, involve cognitive and affective domains of conceptual and experiential learning/knowledge, and are mutable with each social interaction and exchange in the learning environment. Therefore, creating positive effects in learners’ lives and helping them develop a sense of efficacy in their academic progress involve unreserved insight, grace, and ongoing responsiveness to learners as individuals. Developing and implementing instructional strategies to accomplish these goals and address the scope of learner needs in today’s pluralistic society is a fully engaging and earnest responsibility.

In this volume, Learning with and from Students, educators from a range of backgrounds and content areas share their pedagogical insight through valuable, practical, and impactful ideas and strategies which address current challenges in optimizing the learning needs of myriad student populations. Teaching has rarely been just dissemination of information from educator to learner, as learning is socially constructed through an equal exchange of ideas, and no one knows it all. Collectively, through interactive teaching and learning processes, we create engaging learning environments which honor all learners, heighten the human spirit, and positively impact humanity and our progress as a human race.
