Teach students to think for themselves

Students take in facts with their heads, but they learn with their hearts. José Antonio Bowen is an author and former dean at Miami University and Southern Methodist University, and former president of Goucher College. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why he believes education doesn’t do enough to foster independent thinking and why he’d rewrite the 3 R’s to relationships, resilience, and reflection. His book is called “Teaching Change: How to Develop Independent Thinkers Using Relationships, Resilience, and Reflection.”
