Some Notes on Pedagogy:

Central to free school is the breaking down of participant/attendee relationship. We hope learning can be collaborative. We invite you to consider how you convey information and your impact, to keep in mind that how we teach things can get in the way of what we’re teaching, or can reinforce it.

a. types of teaching/learning (visual, aural, written/read) focus on the one(s) you’re most comfortable with, but ideally use all three for students with different learning styles.
b. teaching with someone (either co-teaching or having a helper). Co-teaching implies commensurate levels of experience and information, not necessarily agreement between the teachers. some of the best conversations happen when teachers disagree with each other (not about practical skills obv)
c. set up of seating. circles imply one kind of relationship, classroom set up (all chairs facing one direction) implies something else. either can be appropriate.
d. breaking into small groups, role playing, having students write out brief responses to prompts, various types of presentations to the other students, can all be helpful forms of interaction/ways of breaking up lectures or discussions.
