Choosing your pedagogy metaphor. First read this blog post: http://goo.gl/KGsH6R to get a better idea of why I like to use metaphor in my classes as a reflection and thinking tool. So what is your metaphor for your own pedagogy? In a nutshell, what is your philosophy about the art of teaching (creativity, intuition, responsiveness) + the craft of teaching (skills and practice) + the science of teaching (research-informed decision making, theoretical underpinning). In other words, what do you believe about teaching and learning and what is your metaphor for that. Talk about your metaphor and explain. This is just your current draft of your thinking. Don't fret if your metaphor does not encompass all your beliefs.
