2. Against Transmission
Recognize that expertise
is overrated
Build a learning
environment
Cultivate intellectual
curiosity
Develop high-interest
activities that scaffold the
acquisition of knowledge
and skills
Demonstrate that
everyone learns from
everyone
3. A Pedagogy of Risk-Taking
Experiment and take risks
with a playful pedagogy:
Novelty matters
Teach learners, not content
or subjects
Make students create
media to demonstrate
learning
Learn from mistakes and
failure
4. Rigor and Respect
Have high expectations and meet
people where they live
Teach people what they need to learn
Humility: Be transparent about my
own position, limitations and flaws
Rigor: Provide maximum challenge so
that learners can grow as thinkers, do-
ers and leaders
Respect: Structure learning activities
so that I can learn as much as possible
from my students
