Why teach an EXCO course?

 

There are as many different reasons to teach an EXCO class as there are students who have taught or want to teach. Here are just a few:

  • Do you want to challenge yourself to develop organizational and leadership skills?
  • Have you wanted to pursue in more depth a part of a course you have taken (answer questions that were raised in the course but not answered?).
  • Is there a topic you are passionate about and want to learn more?
  • Is there a topic you know little about but want to learn more?
  • Would you like to belong to a community of learners who want to change society for the better?

Mission Statement

EXCO courses create a space for SF State students to develop leadership skills as they share their voices, backgrounds, and passions in a mutually supportive community of peers. Particularly during the global pandemic, widespread racial justice demonstrations, and remote learning, student-led courses empower all students to practice critical thinking in a variety of topics based on shared knowledge and personal experience, which transforms traditional academia. Ultimately, EXCO teachers develop the topics they teach to engage peers in re-envisioning how the world works through each students’ knowledge.
