As used in a foundations-based course, this model challenges student to consider teaching as a textured and layered concept comprised of three conceptual personae. According to this model, teaching is viewed in terms of its relational, liberal, and practical personae, which when taken together, provide a fuller and more philosophical understanding of teaching.

To do this, critical pedagogy is theoretically framed three-dimensionally. The purpose is to help teachers think through critical pedagogy in a way that might encourage them to analyze their own practices and thus create and enact critical pedagogies that are uniquely their own. The first dimension pertains to its contested terrain. An understanding of critical pedagogy must begin with a disclaimer. This disclaimer suggests that though there are common objectives, there are key points of contestation. The second dimension, then, seeks to find the common ground. This dimension focuses on the commitments of critical pedagogy, and thus, the commitments of those who might try. Lastly, critical pedagogy impels teachers to use their classrooms to make life more humane. To aid in this task, teachers engaging in critical pedagogics take certain philosophical positions, the third dimension of critical pedagogy.
