Without the shared reality, we hardly can agree on anything.
If “project-based learning” means in one school where students get to choose their own projects and get to pace their own progress, but in another school students have to do what they are assigned to and progress with one standard, we don’t have a shared reality on the definition of “project-based learning”.
If pedagogy means in one school where students only listen to the lectures and need to memorize information for tests, but in another school students get to dream about their future and choose how they want to pursue them during the school hours, we don’t have a shared reality on the definition of “pedagogy”.
…
Until we know what we want and how things work, it’s challenging to evaluate options, offer feedbacks and form partnership for our children’s learning and education.
Creating that shared reality starts with us.
