👕 👚 💡 Students in Jesse Sanford’s EDUC 300 class brought their educational philosophies to life—through tie-dye! As a creative lead-up to their final philosophy of education papers, each student selected core values that shape their teaching beliefs, assigned them colors, and designed t-shirts to reflect their personal priorities. What a great Learn by Doing project that encourages future educators to think outside the box! 🎨📚
