Developing a Personal Pedagogy

Many of you know that I enjoy thinking about pedagogy and how we teach. A friend and colleague who spends a good deal of time accompanying dancers shared the following blog post, "Developing a Personal Pedagogy," with me and I thought I would pass it along.  You may have seen my recent post about parallels between dance and music performance.  Here is another example of the parallels in pedagogy and pedagogical thought.

In this post, the author asks purposeful questions about your pedagogy and priorities in teaching and developing lessons.  I feel like these questions, in concert with some of my pedagogical thoughts in "The Anatomy of Effective Pedagogy"  can lead to some interesting discussions and/or trains of thought.

I hope you find this interesting as we move into what promises to be a beautiful spring weekend.

Peace.
Scott
