In his Edutopia post The Warm Demander: An Equity Approach, Matt Alexander shares Lisa Delpit's description of the Warm Demander teacher. One who "expect's a great deal of their students, convinces them of their own brilliance, and helps them to reach their potential in a disciplined and structured environment."
Embrace Failure
Alexander also shares a four-part framework used at his school, the June Jordan School for Equity. The fourth part is Embracing Failure. He emphasizes that "for failure to result in learning, it must happen in a safe environment, with guidance from someone like a warm demander teacher."
