Beyond this, review what you know already about pedagogy. My personal pedagogical principles, and those I use in the course are:

1. Facilitating deep knowledge through higher order thinking

2. Facilitating collaborative learning in which conversations are important

3. Supporting students in knowing how they learn best

4. Planning learning that is problem-based, and situated in real life contexts

5. Is relevant to students, and connects to their background knowledge

6. Supports learning that is owned, controlled and managed by students themselves

7. Is socially supportive, engaging, and values cultural knowledges

8. Is supportive of the development of active citizenship, and strong group identity.

Set up a table in your blog with columns titled Pedagogy, What does it ‘look like’ in practice?, What does it NOT ‘look like’ in practice?

Add each of the pedagogies above (or your own list!) in the left hand columns, and reflect on what they actually mean in your classroom and the way your learners learn in the other two columns. This uses a “looks like” “does not look like” thinking scaffold. Often when we have to think about what it does not look like, we clarify what it actually is. So you might start like this: (Incidentally, keep this table active and improving, it will be submitted as part of Assessment 2).
