Beyond the Echo Chamber: Making the case for relational pedagogy where it’s least welcome by Lauren Flannery
Looking for a thought-provoking take on relational pedagogy beyond the comfort of like-minded circles? In her blog Beyond the Echo Chamber: Making the Case for Relational Pedagogy Where It’s Least Welcome, Lauren Flannery argues that building strong teacher–student relationships is not an optional extra but central to learning, motivation, and retention. She points out the risks of staying in the “echo chamber” of agreement and instead calls for strategies that make relational pedagogy visible and measurable where it matters most.
