Social Pedagogy + Teaching & Learning

PEDAGOGY FOR CHANGE is on of the programmes offered at DRH Lindersvold.

 

We are lucky to share our campus with the Day School which is a special school for children and youth with special educational and social needs. Thus, the Day School at Lindersvold provides an opportunity for participants in the Pedagogy for Change programme to experience working with highly specialised teaching and learning.

 

Specialised teaching and learning

In short, the Day School at Lindersvold can be characterised as activity-based and student-centred. The students at the school have special educational and social needs, which means that the teachers need to master two skills at the same time: social pedagogy in order to accommodate the needs of the students and teaching the compulsory national curriculum.

In the video below, Alex Benesch shares some important aspects of how teaching and learning take place in a highly specialised school like the Day School. Basically, all lessons need to be planned individually for each student, but even so, the teachers need to be adaptable and able to accommodate any needs, well-known or sudden, that their students might have or develop.

Spoiler alert: It is challenging and rewarding work.
