"Working with a critical pedagogy based on my understanding of Freire's teaching, I enter the classroom with an assumption that we must build 'community' in order to create a climate of openness and intellecutal rigor. Rather than focusing on issues of safety, I think that a feeling of community creates a sense that there is shared commitment and a common good that binds us. What we ideally share is the desire to learn—to receive actively knowledge that enhances our intellectual development and our capacity to live more fully in the world." Hooks
