Opinion: Self-Disclosure as a Strategic Teaching Tool: What I Do—and Don’t—Tell My Students

Lad Tobin

Abstract

Self-disclosure should be not given some special status in student writing or in teaching. Nor should it be employed simply because it is an alternative to more traditional academic discourses. Instead, self-disclosure should be evaluated with the same rigor and respect that we bring to those other discourses, and should be employed only when it is an equally good or better rhetorical choice.
