Abstract
The classroom can be an exciting place full of the potential for transformational learning. However, this possibility often remains at the level of wishful thinking. This paper describes transformational teaching and learning in practice and the migration of relationships from teacher/student to mentor/apprentice. Moreover, we reimagine the classroom as one that is co-created by instructor and students, transforming the learning space and leading to meaningful relationships, growth, and development.
