Why Shouldn’t we teach this?

A New Pedagogy? Presented by David Porter

At your tables, describe the pedagogy you experienced today! Pedagogy = instructional approach

The Pedagogy as we see it: Observation – Past Experience/Visual/Demo Question – should elicit a student generated hypothesis Research/Activity/Lab Conclusion – Demonstrates knowledge gained – Can be evaluated by teachers/peers/self Above all: students are gathering, processing, and organizing the information. Teachers are guiding, not processing the information for the students.

How does this pedagogy, vary from current practice? Think about this individually or school-wide

Thoughts, Concerns, Ideas about this pedagogy? Let’s start at your table, then move to the whole group
