pedagogies

pedagogy: the art or science of teaching. we each have one when we step in front of a classroom whether or not we've really thought about it, and whether or not we want to admit it.

but there are many ways of doing "teaching" that we rarely consider. when was the last time you considered using forum theatre to help students understand a concept?

i'll post some mainstream and alternative pedagogies over the next little while, realizing that some we can never use, and others we may not even like. but i'll post anyway, hoping that something might make sense to someone, interest someone else, or irk another into reaffirming their own practice by contrasting it with another.

happy teaching!
