#Pedagography and a spontaneous, invaluable learning session

This morning, while re-reading and studying Heath Bros. #Decisive (and prepping for upcoming #MVPSchool Leadership Council retreat), I was playing with some new ideas about #PedagogicalMasterPlanning.

    Studying #Decisive, a new vein of thinking about PMP has opened up for me – “pedagography” #Pedagography Mapping school T&L ecosystem

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 06:05:51

“Widening my options” and thinking about PMP, I began to wonder more about a school instructionally mapping (like curriculum mapping but with more focus on methodology). Literally seeing a map in my mind’s eye, I grew more and more curious about a school engaging in cartography of its teaching and learning ecosystem. I have been thinking of PMP with analogy of architectural blueprints, and today more about cartography and mapping came into view.

    In #Pedagography, “plan” takes on diff connot than in “strategic plan.” More a plan in terms of a map… like “floor plan.” (Cartography)

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 06:14:54

I decided again to “Find Someone Who’s Solved Your Problem” and put out a search inquiry on Twitter.

    Does anyone know of K12 schls that have tried to “pedagogically map,” like some have curricularly mapped? #Pedagography #AllHelpAppreciated

    @boadams1 Favorite question of the day so far, that! Will keep my antennae up for you…

    @butwait Thanks so much Shelley! You’ve got some of the most incredible antenna in the business! #Pedagography

    @boadams1 [blushing] Aww, thanks, Bo! I have some pretty fantastic help. Have you seen this? edutopia.org/blog/education… #gristforthemill

    #Pedagography can help create _confidence_ in #EdTransformation work, like map boosts journey confidence. ow.ly/i/2qH9H #Decisive

    @leadlearnlab Thanks for RT! Have asked Q before, but not quite this way. Really appreciate any insight you gather/offer! #Pedagography

    Leading is Learning@leadlearnlab
    @boadams1 sadly, I don’t know anyone who does this. But perhaps we throw it out to the #innolead cohort this week. I’ll report back.

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @leadlearnlab that’d be great. Thx. #AllHelpAppreciated #Pedagography

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:01:05

Some of my tribe members had teased me about the hashtag #PedagogicalMasterPlanning, and I reached out to these great thinkers by introducing the new hashtag #Pedagography – the art and science of create maps of our pedagogical ecosystems in schools – our teaching and learning landscapes, so to speak.

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @lottascales @jgough Based on new vein of thinking this am (big epiphany), changing #PedagogicalMasterPlanning to #Pedagography #ShorterHT!

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:06:46

    Shelley Paul@lottascales
    @boadams1 @jgough in the spirit of DO , I suggest #pedaGOgraphy

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:08:32

  3. boadams1

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @scitechyEDU Thanks, Mary! I’m now wondering how #Pedagography might be like #LewisAndClark to #GoogleEarth processes, insights, etc.

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:09:25

Adjacent possibilities and some mental playwork deepened and stretched my thinking.

  1. scitechyEDU

    Mary Cantwell@scitechyEDU
    @lottascales @boadams1 @jgough hmmm what about #pedaGEOgraphy

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:15:06

  2. lottascales

    Shelley Paul@lottascales
    @boadams1 @scitechyEDU @jgough mapping, shaping and cultivating the learning landscape? Maybe it’s #pedagogicalyardwork

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:22:33

Then, I think we began to check for shared understanding.

  1. scitechyEDU

    Mary Cantwell@scitechyEDU
    . @boadams1 can U tweet difference bt pedagogically map vs curriculum map? Didnt U post article/2 on this? MayB #isedchat #21stedchat topic

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:11:54

  2. boadams1

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @scitechyEDU Great Q! Curric map seems more WHAT/WHEN. Largely content. #Pedagography is that WHY & HOW More re #instructionalmethodology

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:15:57

  3. boadams1

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @scitechyEDU @lottascales @jgough This am, began to see PMP more like cartography than architectural planning, per se. #Pedagography (1/2)

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:18:37

  4. boadams1

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @scitechyEDU @lottascales @jgough (2/2) So #Pedagography like the work of cartographer ethnographer. To create “maps” of the T&L ecosystem

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:20:47

  5. lottascales

    Shelley Paul@lottascales
    @boadams1 @scitechyEDU @jgough I like ethnography cartography. Then what happens? Shape path & critical moves fr where ur to where ur going?

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:31:46

  6. boadams1

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @lottascales @scitechyEDU @jgough Exactly! And like a map, there are multiple paths, journeys, destinations. All informed by #Pedagography

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:36:30

    Mary Cantwell@scitechyEDU
    @boadams1 @lottascales @jgough Pulling @jbrettjacobsen N2 convo all of this reminds me of the airline hub flights image esp ATL as the hub

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:41:57

  8. lottascales

    Shelley Paul@lottascales
    @boadams1 @scitechyEDU @jgough are all headed 4 same destination? Can learners go “off the map” intentionally or serendipitously? (1/2)

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:41:17

  9. lottascales

    Shelley Paul@lottascales
    @boadams1 @scitechyEDU @jgough I like this metaphor. Want learners to have tools to navigate the map and make their own. (2/2)

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:42:20

And other super-thinkers entered the conversation. We really had quite a Stephen Johnson “coffee house” going – with ideas and hunches colliding to form new ideas and possibilities.

    @lottascales @boadams1 @scitechyEDU @jgough Loving your conversation! Powerful thinking this am. Appreciate being able to eavesdrop!

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:46:36

I could have taken notes privately. All to myself. But then I would have missed out on these incredible educators weighing in, inquiring about things, and enhancing my thinking.

    @NishantMehta @lottascales @scitechyEDU @jgough @jbrettjacobsen @ideaguy42 Just “ooching” a bit re: #Pedagography after #Decisive study

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:48:31

  2. NishantMehta

    Nishant N. Mehta@NishantMehta
    @boadams1 @lottascales @scitechyEDU @jgough Does this open up differentiated outcomes for all, not just a differentiated process?

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:49:09

    @NishantMehta @boadams1 @scitechyEDU @jgough <fingers crossed!> #pedagography

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @NishantMehta Others have intro’d Gr8 ideas. For me, core of #Pedagography abt mapping out TL ecosystems @lottascales @scitechyEDU @jgough

    Bob Dillon@ideaguy42
    @lottascales @boadams1 @scitechyEDU @jgough enjoying lurking on this; what if the map is 3D?

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:51:22

  6. boadams1

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @ideaguy42 @lottascales @scitechyEDU @jgough YES And! #Pedagography when well done, would surely be 3D rendered!

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:54:07

    Jill Gough@jgough
    @boadams1 @lottascales @scitechyEDU Love this thinking! Am wondering about GPS guidance when feeling (or actually) lost. #Pedagography

  8. NishantMehta

    Nishant N. Mehta@NishantMehta
    @boadams1 @ideaguy42 @lottascales @scitechyEDU @jgough Love that this includes learners too, not just teacher’s viewpoint as most curr maps.

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 07:58:09

  9. boadams1

    Bo Adams@boadams1
    @jgough Love GPS. Seems that that depends on solid mapping. #Pedagography @lottascales @scitechyEDU @NishantMehta @ideaguy42 @jbrettjacobsen

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 08:00:25

  10. jgough

    Jill Gough@jgough
    @boadams1 @lottascales @scitechyEDU @NishantMehta @ideaguy42 @jbrettjacobsen Agree. Solid mapping critical for diff paths & trailblazers.

    Nishant N. Mehta@NishantMehta
    @boadams1 @jgough @lottascales @scitechyEDU @ideaguy42 @jbrettjacobsen Who’s the “voice” of the GPS? #Pedagography

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 08:12:55

  12. lottascales

    Shelley Paul@lottascales
    @NishantMehta @boadams1 @jgough @scitechyEDU @ideaguy42 @jbrettjacobsen GPS voice changes acc to context? Self, peer, teacher, community.

    Sun, Jun 23 2013 08:15:52

  13. jgough

    Jill Gough@jgough
    @lottascales @NishantMehta @boadams1 @scitechyEDU @ideaguy42 @jbrettjacobsen GPS voices offer choice. balance learner preference & need.
