A Paradigm Precisely Prepared to Perpetuate Promising Pedagogical Practices- Part 1 - Presentation

Presented by Don Berg at the Learning Planet Festival via Zoom 21Jan2025
In association with the Rights-Centered Education movement.

Program Description: Anyone can say they have a new paradigm, but everything thrown at the mainstream has so far bounced off leaving behind only trivial traces of their existence within the system. A more resilient paradigm is needed to have widespread and sustainable effects on our current (distressed) learning ecosystems.

Don Berg, Executive Director of Deeper Learning Advocates, will briefly present an introduction to the Catalytic Pedagogy paradigm and how it has been developed over the past decade. The Catalytic Pedagogy paradigm (also known as Back-to-Basics 2.0) is based on the science of Self-Determination Theory, the most thoroughly supported model of human motivation in the world today. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, make comments, and discuss the proposed paradigm after they downloaded the handout (Handout Link: https://www.holisticequity.org/learni....
