Building Relationships: Dr. Jessica Zeller | Episode 04

“When we drop fear, we can draw nearer to people, we can draw nearer to the earth, we can draw nearer to all the heavenly creatures that surround us.”
— bell hooks

When teachers create structures that "drop fear" and draw their students to them and to one another they create spaces where students can reach for the stars, and education is about discovering the limitless potential.

Jessica Zeller, PhD, is an associate professor of Dance at Texas Christian University and author of Shapes of American Ballet and has contributed to several anthologies of dance and blogs at jessicazeller.net.

Jessica places a strong emphasis on building relationships with her students and is apparent through her Twitter handle @jessicazeller.

In this episode of Beyond the Curriculum I have the pleasure to learn more about how Jessica develops relationships to impact learning.
