This week's keyword is "Active Pedagogy." This term is a part of Expeditionary Learning Schools Core Practices. I will take a look at the basic definition of each of the words, active, and pedagogy and in another post dissect the meaning. For now, here are the definitions to ponder...
Active:
1. Being in physical motion: active fish in the aquarium.
2. Functioning or capable of functioning.
3. Marked by energetic activity; involving or requiring physical exertion and energy.
4. Being in a state of action; erupting or liable to erupt; not dormant: an active volcano.
5. Marked by or involving direct participation; currently in use or effect; openly acknowledged or expressed: an active dislike of the new neighbors.
6. Producing an intended action or effect.
7.Expressing action rather than a state of being. Used of verbs such as run, speak, and move.
8. Being a source of electrical energy; capable of converting or amplifying voltages or currents.
