Partnering Pedagogy in the 21st Century

Partnering is the very opposite of teaching by telling.  Teachers go from the stage, and the students take the lead. Isn't it amazing what students can learn and want to learn in the following teaching strategies...

Problem-Based Learning

​​Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an instructional method of hands-on, active learning centered on the investigation and resolution of messy, real-world problems.
​

Project- Based Learning

Project-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered that involves a dynamic classroom approach in which students acquire a deeper knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems, by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to a complex question, challenge, or problem.
​

Case-Based Learning

Case-based learning (CBL) is an established approach used across disciplines where students apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, promoting higher levels of cognition. Students typically work in groups on case studies, stories involving one or more characters and/or scenarios.

Constructivism

Constructivist teaching is based on the belief that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information.
