The careful attention practiced in poetics that comes from seeking to understand life’s narrative can be channeled towards a student’s style of learning and towards discovering creative ways of guiding their unique processes.
When one holds on to the helm of poetics for long enough, getting a first hand experience of how the weather, the tide, and every factor influences one’s direction in life, it opens one up to start noticing how those elements may be influencing others’ navigation through the world. One may ponder: they’re in harmony with the currents, what drives that? Or: they’re wavering, what could be tormenting them? This reflection is crucial to students getting in tune with their empathy for others, seeing things through the eyes of others, which is indispensable to deepening one’s humanity, which is the central purpose of education as liberation. At the same time, the inclination to listen more carefully to others, to pay attention to those elements which make up their narrative and their reason for being, helps to encourage a mindset of learning and curiosity. One benefit of opening oneself to learning from others is that it stimulates the students’ appreciation for teachers more generally.
