My teaching practices are situated in the understanding that in the classroom, students come together to make—they write papers, develop relationships, build networks—and those acts of making are personally, professionally, and intellectually empowering. I encourage students to think about making not just in terms of the writing they produce or the projects they compose, but in the ways they make relationships and community with one another. I support students’ rhetorical agency and engage them in seeing themselves as critical and essential members of their school and home communities.
