Precision in Pedagogy- what does it
mean?
Michael Fullan’s Coherence framework promotes synergy amongst members of
educational systems, encouraging members from the classroom to upper level,
decision making administration to work together towards common goals to have
the greatest positive impact on students ( pg. 88).
Precision in Pedagogy is the understanding of intentional and purposeful
methodologies needed to not only instruct students but give them the
capabilities necessary to become active, accountable thinkers.
Precision works in coherence with Clarity of Learning Goals and Shift Practices
through Capacity Building to deepen learning and add depth to current
educational practices that may be lacking in engaging, intentional curriculum
design.

3. What can be done to support teachers in their pursuit of new ways to engage students?
4. What teaching practices can be used to promote critical thought and decision making skills with our students so they have a greater chance
of not only meeting standards but becoming successful thinkers?
5. How can the transition from more traditional methods of teaching to modern methods like deeper learning go as smooth as possible?
6. How effective can deeper learning and pedagogy in precision be on the students’ academic success in the long run?
Next Steps
• Some of the next steps could be:
• - Deepening our own learning as educators so that we are prepared to provide
our students with the best possible chance to learn.
