As educators move back into their classrooms socially distanced, in hybrid environments, or entirely virtual, our methodology must change. It’s crucial, though, that progressive, human-centered pedagogy is not lost. Districts have extended harmful practices into digital space intent on controlling and surveilling learning and behavior, even if that digital space terminates in a student’s bedroom. As humane educators, we must resist this systemic inertia and build an empathetic and tolerant space to work alongside students rather than against them. In this handbook, you will find twenty elements of progressive pedagogy outlined with specific methods of carrying them out.

This handbook is meant, in part, to resolve the “how” of human-centered pedagogy, offering tools and websites to structure engaged learning for our students. In the same vein, we must push back against carceral practices invading our schools: student tracking software, forcing webcams to be on and surveilling student screens, centering anti-cheating rationales, suspending students, or enforcing dress codes. Now, more than ever, educators must demand that students are treated with respect and demand respect for our profession, as market forces attempt to capitalize on a pandemic to dismantle public education.
