| Abstract: | Very few of today's forums (both physical and virtual) are appreciative environments for generative discourse, complicating the efforts and recognition of "public intellectuals" who are interested in elevating discourse for the public good. Instead of expecting regulatory action from institutions to set standards of communication (top-down) or a cohort of public intellectuals to provide dialogical direction, there should be more of a focus on ensuring that the next generation will have skills instilled in them to reinforce these norms for themselves (bottom-up). The authors assert that we need not look very far in viewing educators as the ideal liaisons in carrying out this endeavor as they are already well-positioned to model critical thinking, expression, and engagement to an uninitiated population. John Dewey's learning process is offered as a helpful "roadmap" for educators committed to modeling constructive discourse under the tenets of "empathy, humility, and a willingness to learn" within their classrooms. Teachers willing to follow the example of one of the 20th century's most influential educators and public intellectuals can now become the new vanguard of dialogical shepherds in the current millennium. |
