Freedom to teach is an essential part of any educational system, but not all instructors have equal control over what they teach. Educators who have the right to teach based on their judgment and expertise have several synonyms: academic freedom, instructional autonomy, teaching independence, classroom license, pedagogical liberty, and curriculum sovereignty. The concept of freedom to teach empowers teachers to choose course materials, teach without censorship, to express divergent opinions, and to create a classroom environment that fosters thinking skills. Instructors can use this right to experiment with different teaching techniques and materials, develop creative curricula, and inspire students to be engaged in the learning process.
