The Cult of Pedagogy https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/start-here/
Basically - how good teachers teach. Each blog post falls into one of these three categories: The Craft, where we fine-tune the art of teaching, Go Deep, where we dig into the theory and thinking behind our practice, and Teacher Soul. This site also includes Podcasts - Teaching strategies, classroom management, education reform, educational technology — if it has something to do with teaching, we’re talking about it - and Videos - each videos has been created to help you become a better teacher. They look at instruction and assessment strategies, classroom management, technology, presentation and design. Every effort is made to make each concept clear and simple.
