We all need inspiration, and many would argue that we perform better as educators when we have passion. We need to see education for what it is - the means to draw out the best from children and give them the best preparation to thrive in the world. Effective pedagogy not only has impact, it's contagious. This is profound.

Pedagogy is not about directing children. In its absolute form, pedagogy is not just about teaching. It does not simply concern itself with the 'delivery' of education or content. In the truest sense, teaching is just one element of pedagogy and not the entire story. What does this mean for teachers today?

One of the principles of pedagogy I learnt very early on in my career was not to privilege teaching above learning. The delivery of content and the instructional aspects of education are, and should always be considered to be, just two components in learning. There's more to education than standing up and teaching.

Although I am employed to teach, I consider it something of a disappointment if I don't learn something myself during my teaching sessions.

Yet many education systems have failed to accept this reality.

Simply, teaching is driven by assessment.

Grading is practiced today from primary school through to higher education. It seems strange that the education community is willing to adopt new technologies and develop new theories and methods of education, but it can't arrive at a way to get rid of grading.
