Pedagogy – of course I will post about this – I’m a teacher and have been at this work of teaching and learning since … 19… let’s leave it at a long time. During my years of teaching, I have had plenty of opportunity to consider various teaching methodologies, philosophies, pedagogy and more. Today, looking back on my career as an educator and looking forward on it as well, I still believe very deeply on the value of learning, in every aspect of our selves, and in every location.
Below are links to other academics, thinkers, teachers, researchers that hold meaning for me in the work that I do.
