Abstract

In this reflection, we discuss our experience of engaging in collaborative teaching underpinned by principles of democratic pedagogy in a new bachelor degree aimed at leadership for social action. By collectively developing a common pedagogical framework for a select group of core courses within the degree, our intent was to provide a consistent and coherent approach to teaching and learning. Here, we share some of the opportunities and challenges that we experienced on our journey of teaching together, including questions regarding our responsibilities to one another as educators, and the complexities of practicing democratic pedagogy.
