Notes

I was reading this article for my multicultural education class that examines the teaching strategies exercized by a first-year minority teacher. I thought it was an interesting take on LDS teachers. Emphasis added :)

"Carlos's religious convictions, however, contain a basis for grounding a pedagogy of equity in his ontological commitments. Specifically, Carlos religious beliefs include a doctrine called eternal progression (The Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 132: 22). According to this doctrine, each individual is a radically unique soul engaged in a process of eternal evolution toward a divine status. One can hardly imagine a pedagogy more consistent with this idea than one stressing equitable treatment of each student because of his or her unique and unbounded potential."
