Reality Pedagogy is anchored on the basic tenet that teaching is more than just having information to disseminate to students. Research in education has indicated that professors who are qualified (via terminal degrees in their discipline) are not necessarily effective educators. Even when they have sufficient content knowledge, many still lack the tools necessary to address the cultural divides that render them ineffective. Consequently, this talk provides tools all educators can be trained in that teaches them how to address cultural divides while delivering academic content. The 7 C’s of Reality Pedagogy are: 1. Cogenerative Dialogues 2. Coteaching 3. Cosmopolitanism 4. Context 5. Content 6. Competition 7. Curation
