A pedagogy of learning is rooted in several ideas:

• Every human being is able to and wants to learn (although not all the same things – i.e., school topics, at the same time – i.e., a certain age)
• We all have different abilities, strengths, interests, passions, experiences and needs that impact what we learn;
• Diversity across all areas should be leveraged to create an inclusive community based on mutual respect as we learn from and about each other and enrich everyone’s learning experiences;
• It is only the individual who learns – nobody can learn for us or force us to learn (i.e., threats, punishment, low grades). Engagement and motivation to learn are intrinsic and come from the learner;
• Learning happens best in a safe space where every learner can find success;
• The teachers’ work is to coach and entice the learners toward engagement and self-motivation as they guide them through and support students’ own learning processes;
• Both teachers and students are responsible for the learning and the learning outcomes.
