Prior to working on this sourcebook, the author thinks that if asked, she would have responded that the essence of setting boundaries was in the moments "with" students--the moments when she clarifies her availability or make the split-second decision about whether to self-disclose or not. After working with the contributing authors for this book and doing her own reflective work necessary to write for this volume, the author has come to believe that while the moments with students are clearly important, the metacognitive journey before educators even get to the student interaction is just as, if not more, important. As she reflects on the previous chapters and on how they have influenced her teaching practice, the author has identified five themes: (1) increase awareness of power and positionality; (2) examine reflexive boundaries; (3) explore the assumptions educators hold about their students; (4) clarify expectations; and (5) offer transparency. Each theme is discussed in detail in this chapter.
