Pedagogical Principle
#1
Vygotsky was right.(a.k.a., Joanie Richardson)
• Our sociocultural context really does
matter.• When we come together in new
situations with new friends, we really will be qualitatively different when we leave each other.
On to the 1970s(a.k.a., mommie)

Pedagogical Principle #3
Noise is good.
Two Perspectives
I came from a tradition…

But I was living …
• Student-centered
• Meaning
• Comprehension-based
• Porfolio
• Intrinsic rewards
• Multiple perspectives

These principles are taken from the work of Ken and Yetta Goodman of the University of Arizona.

• Constructivist
• Constructionism
• Social constructionsim
• Dialectical Learning
• Critical Pedagogy
On to the 90s
1990s
• Out with Freire; in with phonemes
• Mandated minutia
• Rigor and joy
• Patience and courage
Robert Frost was Right
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not
travel both.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all
the difference.
1991(a.k.a., Dr. Wink)
• Revisiting an evil state far, far away…
• Gender-quake
At rare intervals, the most significant factors in determining the future occur in infinitesimal quantities on unique occasions.
(L. Mumford, The Transformation of Man, 1956)
Movements have moments.
Pedagogical Principle #4
Words have power.
On to the 2000s and beyond
Charles Dickens
• These are the best of times.
• These are the worst of times.
• Simultaneous and contradictory ideas
Pedagogical Principle #5
Stories matter.
The Power of the Narrative
The human brain favors stories or the narrative form as a primary means of organizing and relating human experience. Stories contain large amounts of valuable information even when the storyteller forgets or invents new details.
~Silko, The Turquoise Ledge: A Memoir
2000s
Cancer: What did I learn?
When you are going through hell, just keep on going.
(Dr. Wink morphed back to Joanie.)
Human relations are at the heart of schooling.
Cummins, 2001, as cited in Wink, 2011, p 90.
