Best Explanation of Pedagogy

 "Pedagogy" as a term is not well understood, and the actual application of different pedagogical approaches in the classroom – even less so. 

We at Things Education have written extensively about these topics over several editions of our fortnightly newsletter. Here is a list of these editions, along with their links:

1. What is the difference between content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge, and how do these two interact with each other? https://lnkd.in/gwXQjfja

Important books

 After falling ill for the 4th time in 6 years with chronic pain, I had to ask myself how was I making myself so sick? 

It was only when I was ready to accept that I was making myself ill, the opportunity to change things appeared in my grasp. 

Leaders who are accountable are the ones who change things. 

They look for all the ways in which they have created the situation. Blame is not part of their psychological make-up. 

Just like any other skill, practice makes us better at it. And once we get better, accountability grows in sophistication. We start to see how our internal chaos causes external chaos. 

These 5 books show us the many facets to accountability, and the many approaches to it. 

🔷 Black Box Thinking: Why Most People Never Learn from Their Mistakes—But Some Do by Matthew Syed Click here'- https://amzn.to/49RhW77

Syed explores the dichotomy between industries that learn from failures and those that don't, emphasising the importance of a culture that moves beyond blame to genuinely understand and learn from mistakes. 

🔷 An Everyone Culture: Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization by Robert Kegan and Lisa Laskow Lahey. Click here:- https://amzn.to/4cVOXS8

This book introduces the concept of Deliberately Developmental Organizations (DDOs), where personal growth is part of the company's operational structure. Leaders would need to rethink accountability and build a new culture based on mutual growth. 

🔷 The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander

Combining Benjamin Zander's experiences as a conductor and Rosamund Stone Zander's psychotherapy insights, this book presents a set of practices for breaking away from old patterns of leadership. Shifting mindsets from a scarcity and blame framework to one of possibility and opportunity. 

🔷 Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility by James P. Carse

Carse's philosophical insights distinguishes between finite games, played to win, and infinite games, played for the sake of continuing the long game. Applied to leadership, it encourages leaders to view accountability and growth as part of an infinite game, focusing on long-term possibilities rather than short-term blame or victories.

🔷 Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders by L. David Marquet

While this might appear as a conventional leadership book at first glance, Marquet’s narrative of transforming leadership aboard a U.S. Navy submarine offers radical insights into distributing leadership responsibility. 

It showcases how relinquishing control and creating a culture where everyone feels accountable can lead to unprecedented success.

Let's start small and ask ourselves, what's the one small thing we can be accountable for and aim to improve the situation incrementally. 

Happy reading!

The 5S Method for stress Management

 The 5S Method

Credits to Ben Meer, follow him for more insightful content. ------ Here's the original post: The Japanese secret to clutter-free living: "The first step in crafting the life you want is to get rid of everything you don't." — Joshua Becker Imagine stepping into your home, where every item has its place and your spaces spark joy. Your daily chores are no longer a dreaded task but a simple, swift act of maintaining your personal oasis. Sound far-fetched? It's entirely achievable with the 5S Method. Developed for Japanese factories (efficiency leaders), 5S is equally powerful for your home and workplace. Rebecca E., home system expert and writer of “Your House Machine” newsletter popularized it. Step 1: Sort (Seiri) Step 2: Set in Order (Seiton) Step 3: Shine (Seiso) Step 4: Standardize (Seiketsu) Step 5: Sustain (Shitsuke) Tidiness isn't just about cleaning up; it's about personal transformation and designing the life you want. As Marie Kondo said: "The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past."

How do you Help Your Team Feel More Comfortable with Conflict? How do you support constructive conflict and candour on your team?

How do you Help Your Team Feel More Comfortable with Conflict? How do you support constructive conflict and candour on your team? “Candor must be supported by two other attributes: a deep commitment to the well-being of the team and the individual, and an in depth appreciation of how to work with emotions. With these in the mix, and with a commitment to learning, candor becomes a vital force for growth.” - Marion Langford How do you practice Candour? Leaders and teams have found that seeing reality clearly is essential to being successful. ▶ In order to see reality clearly, leaders and organizations need everyone to be truthful and not lie about, or withhold, information. They need candor. ▶ Candor is the revealing of all thoughts, feelings, and sensations in an honest, open, and aware way. ▶ Speaking candidly increases the probability that leaders and teams can collectively see reality more clearly. The ability to get issues on the table and work through them constructively is critical to having a healthy culture. Exercise: Managers can normalize productive conflict on your team by using an exercise to map out the unique value of each role and the tensions that should exist among them. Draw a circle and divide that circle into enough wedges to represent each role on your team. For each role, ask: 1️⃣What is the unique value of this role on this team? 2️⃣On which stakeholders is this role focused? 3️⃣What is the most common tension this role puts on team discussions? Answer those questions for each member of the team, filling in the wedges with the answers. As you go, emphasize how the different roles are supposed to be in tension with one another. With heightened awareness and a shared language, your team will start to realize that much of what they have been interpreting as interpersonal friction has actually been perfectly healthy role-based tension.
