More and more, we are realizing that in addition to general pedagogical knowledge, teachers need to understand how learning happens in their subjects specifically. Unique differences between the disciplines have to to with how knowledge is organized in that discipline, how knowledge is developed, and how the discipline is practiced.
CTL has begun to take small stepts in this area and is working with small groups of teachers to try and understand these differences and develop resources to support teachers in developing their pedagogical content knowledge.
