  • For other stories from instructors about purposeful and authentic vulnerability in the classroom, check out this podcast episode from Teaching in Higher Ed on Building Community in the College Classroom.
  • In Chapter 6 of Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain author Zaretta Hammond describes a warm demander and research supporting this stance, first documented by Judith Kleinfeld in 1975. Hammond writes, “Personal warmth and authentic concern exhibited by the teacher earns her the right to demand engagement and effort.” Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain is available through the UW Libraries. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Classroom Management provides a short overview of Warm Demanders, which is available online through the UW Libraries.
