SEATCA / SWATCA 2022 - Southern Alberta Teachers' Convention

While nobody knows exactly where this aphorism comes from, today we use it in a self-deprecating, usually humorous way, when we realise that our mind has come to the same conclusion as our conversation partners. For educators, such declaration could describe two teaching methods that result in similar responses in our learners, as they acquire a similar piece of knowledge. But while the minds may think alike, many times, the path used to get to the same result is different.

In this session, Maria will demonstrate different ways to teach the same topic, using different paths, with similar results. Taken from her extensive teaching career and the most recent studies in teaching methodology and pedagogy, she will address the question of teaching styles and learning styles and how we can adapt our teaching so that we address the individual needs of our learners, at the same time catering to the entire group.
