Learning that moves you. That’s what this book is about.

In Educative Encounters, Dr. Carrie Nolan invites readers into a reimagined landscape of higher education. Drawing from her years as an educator, leader, and paddler, she offers a model for teaching for designing encounters that change us.

Grounded in the philosophies of Dewey, Buber, and Noddings, and drawing from classrooms as diverse as design studios, outdoor expeditions, and trades shops, this book introduces the Classroom CARE model:

• Community – where students feel known and needed

• Action – where creativity and doing go hand-in-hand

• Reflection – where learning lingers and deepens

• Environment – where space and atmosphere shape what’s possible

Blending story, scholarship, and strategies you can use right away, Educative Encounters is for college and university educators at any stage - those just starting out, mid-career teachers seeking renewal, and those ready to name what they’ve always felt in their bones: that teaching is about encounter, and learning is an act of hope.
