At Burris Laboratory School, education isn’t just about teaching\u2014it\u2019s about fostering curiosity, creativity, and meaningful connections. One educator who embodies this philosophy is Corby Roberson, an Instructor of Secondary English Language Arts. With a passion for inquiry-driven learning and a student-centered approach, Roberson has crafted a classroom environment where students are encouraged to explore, question, and grow.<\/p>\n

\"\"A Calling to Teach<\/span><\/h3>\n

For Roberson, the journey to education began in childhood. “When I was little, when I wasn’t outside exploring in our 20-acre woods, I spent time indoors playing two games: preacher and teacher,” they recall. Even at five years old, their stuffed animals and dolls were subjected to rigorous lessons, foreshadowing a lifelong commitment to learning and sharing knowledge.<\/p>\n

“I have always had a desire to share my knowledge with other people and to invite them to share their knowledge with me,” Roberson says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Torn between preaching and teaching, they ultimately chose the classroom, drawn by the opportunity to cultivate creativity, inquiry, and collective knowledge-building.<\/p>\n

Why Burris?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Roberson\u2019s connection to Burris began years ago with an interest in working alongside preservice teachers. “I loved it when I used to have so many practicum students in my middle school English classes,” they say. Now, they cherish the dynamic environment that Burris offers.<\/p>\n

“With IMPACT, we can explore so many topics, deeply consider how our knowledge impacts our community, and think about the ways in which we can fail forward and learn from our mistakes. I enjoy teaching in a place that allows my students and I to have the freedom to discuss ideas that matter and to explore topics that are culturally relevant.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"The Joy of Teaching<\/span><\/h3>\n

Roberson thrives in an environment where they can tailor instruction to meet student needs. “I enjoy having the ability to teach my students in the ways that I think are the best for them. If I see a need, I am free to address it. If a student struggles, I am free to implement modifications or accommodations to help them move along. If a student excels, I am free to challenge them in unique ways so they can see their full potential.”<\/p>\n

One of the most rewarding aspects of teaching for Roberson is the flexibility to move at a pace that allows for deep exploration.<\/p>\n

“There was a popular educational movement a few years ago called slow learning, or slow teaching, and I love the concept of moving deliberately through a topic, reaching deep down inside it, and cultivating all of the information and wisdom from that topic before moving on to the next required bit of content. My students seem to enjoy the slower, more focused exploration as well.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A Classroom Fueled by Inquiry<\/span><\/h3>\n

Roberson\u2019s approach to teaching is deeply student-centered.<\/p>\n

“My lessons change from semester to semester based on the interests and abilities of my students,” they explain. “For example, the last IMPACT unit, which I co-taught with Jenny Wellman and Alivia Pello, was based on a student suggestion. She wanted us to learn more about her neighborhood and history, so we spent January and the first two weeks of February studying Black history and culture, particularly in the Muncie Community.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The unit was a transformative experience, featuring a visit to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, ten guest speakers from the community, and deep discussions about history and identity. “Our big takeaway was how we will be curious, listen, and move forward with greater respect for each other.”<\/p>\n

Advice for Aspiring Educators<\/span><\/h3>\n

To those considering a career in education, Roberson offers this wisdom:<\/p>\n

“You are not the disseminator of knowledge, filling empty containers. Every student brings knowledge, curiosity, creativity, and beauty into your classroom. Each student deserves to be honored and respected for their individual contributions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They emphasize the importance of reflection and humility in teaching. “Be careful what knowledge, or capital, you elevate, because your students are learning from more than your words. But, perhaps most importantly, never stop learning, always be curious, always listen, and make sure you lead with love.”<\/p>\n

Beyond the Classroom<\/span><\/h3>\n

When not in the classroom, Roberson finds joy and balance in nature and personal hobbies. “I love open water, or wild swimming, which simultaneously calms me and invigorates me. I also hike and bike, and I’m in the process of getting back to trail running.” A passionate reader, they enjoy creative nonfiction and, more recently, mysteries.<\/p>\n

A new adventure for Roberson has been diving into the world of video gaming. “Last November, I bought a PS5 and started, at the age of 50, to learn how to play video games. I find all of these things to be quite relaxing and balancing.”<\/p>\n

A Lasting Impact<\/span><\/h3>\n

Corby Roberson\u2019s teaching philosophy centers on curiosity, student-driven learning, and a commitment to fostering an inclusive, thoughtful classroom environment. Their approach serves as a reminder that education is not just about imparting knowledge but about creating a space where students and teachers learn from one another. Through their work at Burris, Roberson continues to inspire both students and colleagues, proving that education is a journey of shared discovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
