Pedagogy in a collaborative teaching and learning environment
I have been working in an MLE for a term now with 72 students and two other teachers. While the environment is modern and we have great access to IT to support learning, I am wondering about how we shift/or align our pedagogy. We have a home group of students and we cross group for literacy and maths but this could easily be achieved in single cell classrooms. Where is the point of difference?

Although I can find lots of information about design and furniture etc, I can't find a lot about pedagogy, and like you would be interested to hear from others. I hope you don't mind that I am not from Hibiscus Coast area.

Hi Meriel,
Great to have you join a discussion. i am just looking at a blog from Chris Bradbeer which has some material around the pedagogy of MLE environments. A couple of books in there might be worth a read! Link is below
