This paper describes how we, a group of 7 emerging teacher educators, took up a critical inquiry framework to collaboratively generate knowledge through dialogic reflection on practice across educational contexts. We participated in culture circles and teatro as a practice of teacher education that centers love and humanizing practice. Together throughout the semester, we engaged in problem-posing and dialogue in order to collectively problem-solve around a generative theme: Humanity is non-negotiable in teaching and teacher education. In this paper, we include our reflections on one dilemma of practice to illustrate ways to transform teacher education to include humanizing practices.
