Pedagogy

Paeda, it means child or youth. The idea of developing pedagogy goes beyond curriculum development and into social development: in loco parentis.

• Exposing the student to the breadth of culture; hencefrom the idea of Liberal Arts.
• Development of professionalism in the student: etiquette, sophistication of language.
• Development of his/her critical faculties: thinking, writing, reading.

Too much lecturing and they become dependent. Too much freedom and they don't learn anything.

The real lesson of this crucible is developing the student's understanding of their own dependence on the world and how they can find their unique place within it.
