Each episode is a conversation with a teacher (or multiple teachers) about classroom pedagogies and practices. Pedagogue amplifies teacher-scholar perspectives on teaching writing across contexts and positions and celebrates the labor teachers do inside and outside the classroom.

These dramas are not 'perfect' lessons but raise questions about different strategies which teachers can use to enhance their pupils’ learning.
