"Pedagogy
(
/ˈpɛdəɡɒdʒi/
or
/ˈpɛdəɡoʊdʒi/
is the study of being a teacher
or the process of teaching.
The term generally refers to strategies of
instruction, or a style of instruction. Pedagogy is also
occasionally referred to as the correct use of
instructive strategies (see instructional theory).
For example, Paulo Freire
referred to his method of teaching adult humans as "critical
pedagogy".
In correlation with those instructive strategies the
instructor's own philosophical beliefs of
instruction are harbored and governed by the pupil's
background knowledge and experience, situation, and
environment, as well as learninggoals
set by the student and teacher. One example would be
the Socratic schools of
thought."

the profession because they love children and want
to make an impact on their lives. Nearly 45% of
teachers resign within the first 5 years. Source:

prorated over twelve months, thus they receive
compensation during the summer. A teacher
receives a permanent contract, called tenure, within
5 years, after showing verifiable positive teaching
skills.
