In this first episode of the second season of Teaching through Emotions, my co-host Joe and I tell a story about a cheater in a class taught by someone who can’t stand cheating. Our psychodynamic take on the story might surprise you.
We retell the outrageous lengths our cheater went to.
We share the teacher’s visceral responses to the cheater.
We wonder where the cheater’s True Self is.
We clarify what the teacher’s contributions are and how she can change them.
We tell how the story ended after the teacher did some emotion work on the problem.
We suggest axioms teachers can take away from this example.
