Pedagogy

‘Pedagogy is also sometimes referred to as the correct use of teaching strategies’ (Wiki). This is what we talked about at last class session. I understand that you have to follow some guide line but for you to become a better teacher, don’t you have to put your own spin in to the mix. Sometimes the way the curriculum is written up does not always show that the student is learning. They may do the homework, participate in class, and be active; does that mean that the student is actually learning? I ask, because putting myself in a position where a young mind can be molded is a large task. I don’t want to be ‘the’ teacher where the teacher is teaching because it’s their job. I want to, at least, make a difference in their lives. I understand it’s a job but it’s no ordinary job.
