Pedagogy is the method and practice of teaching based on theories of learning and an understanding of learners’ needs and interests. Effective pedagogies enable the school to realise its vision.
Key Principles
Schools should consider their principles of pedagogy when designing their curriculum because they are fundamental to realising the four purposes.
A variety of pedagogical approaches provides equity and leads to optimal engagement and progress for all learners.
Diverse and relevant pedagogies equip all learners with the skills to adapt to a rapidly changing society.
Effective pedagogies have the ability to excite and inspire children to want to learn and to be able to learn independently throughout their lives.
Key Considerations
What strategies are used to ensure that as a staff we understand why pedagogy is fundamental to realising the four purposes?
To what extent does the staff recognise how a variety of pedagogical approaches provides equity for all learners?
As a staff, what do we understand about the link between pedagogy and progress?
Why is it important for us as a school to continue to explore new teaching methods and practices?
