Principles, pedagogy, and strategies for classroom management vary from teacher to teacher. However different, all teaching methodology is deeply rooted in traditional styles. Teachers adapt their teaching methods based on educational philosophy, classroom demographics, subject areas, and the schools at which they teach.

Participating teachers will be required to grow and improve in their ability to reflect upon and apply the CSTPs while exploring the specific pedagogical skills for subject matter instruction. Participants will utilize the adopted academic content standards and performance levels for students, curriculum frameworks, and instructional materials in the context of teaching assignments. Topics include the use and interpretation of student assessment data; summative assessments of student academic performance to inform instruction; planning and differentiation; academic language and literacy and diverse learning needs for the full range of learners.

Jack takes us through the four main approaches to pedagogy, or 'learning theories' for those not quite up to scratch on their ancient Greek. Find out how it all began with behaviorism, how liberationism frees the mind, how constructivism is all chat, and how connectivism could be the next big thing. If pedagogy is new to you, this video is the place to start.
