‘Walk with them,
work with
them,
along side them’
(source unknown)
To me I believe that the result of good pedagogy can be defined as the success of students walking away with enough knowledge and understanding about the subject so they are able to discuss it, debate it and challenge it confidently.
Potential and Purpose Drawing out the potential of the student and embedding a
strong sense of purpose in them.
Educating,
Equipping and Encouraging.
Developing strategies
to champion initiative, ownership and contribution.
Attitude
Promoting ‘attitude’ as a tool that delivers successful
outcomes.
Going
the extra mile with your students until the outcome is achieved.
Observation Constantly observing your students? What their
strengths and weaknesses? What are the opportunities for them to grow. What is
posing a threat to them?
Generating new ideas and
creative ways to teach new material.
Yesterday Reflecting
critically on what was done yesterday. Was it successful? How can I make it better?
I really liked how you summed up the meaning of Pedagogy with this acrostic, my brain loves the way it has been organised!
