Educational "Testimonio": Critical Pedagogy as Mentorship
Burciaga, Rebeca; Cruz Navarro, Natalia
New Directions for Higher Education, n171 p33-41 Fall 2015
This chapter chronicles the use of educational "testimonio" as one approach to critical pedagogy as mentoring in a college classroom. Written from the perspectives of an instructor and a student, it explores educational "testimonio" as one tool that has implications beyond the classroom, including retention in higher education and supporting the development of aspirations beyond undergraduate schools on the path to the professoriate.
