Teachers of Wicca, Witchcraft, Paganisms, and other magical practices either teach how they were taught, or develop their own lessons. With few exceptions, they often do so in isolation.
The Commons of Modern Pagans and Spiritual Seekers (COMPASS) is looking to create a space where Pagan teachers can meet regularly, share expertise and resources, and work collaboratively to improve teaching and understanding for all their students. The aim of the Pagan Teachers Commons (PTC) is not to dictate content--what we teach--but to inform our practice of teaching methodologies, so that we may be better facilitators of our educational settings. The PTC is modeled after the idea of a Professional Learning Community, which relies on reflective dialogue, a focus on student learning, interactions among teacher colleagues, collaboration, and shared values and norms.
The members of the PTC will collectively decide on governance, frequency of meetings, and topics discussed. Language for the section with the Survey: The responses gathered from this survey will help us to better meet the needs of this project and assist us in identifying teachers who would be interested in participating. Please feel free to distribute the link to this survey to any Pagan teachers.link: https://forms.gle/7sPFT3HMixdnavqv8
