PRAXIS DECK
Impactful Pedagogy – Made Visible
Teaching is complex. Every lesson is built on hundreds of choices, made in real time. While theory matters, what most teachers need is clarity: practical strategies that translate principles into action.
The Praxis Deck is a practical toolkit for the craft of teaching. It focuses on the how of pedagogy — the routines, strategies, and moves that bring lessons to life. Each card is concise, accessible, and immediately usable: why it matters, how to use it, and what to watch out for.
At its core, the Praxis Deck helps teachers:
-
Build strong classroom routines that support learning
-
Start lessons with energy and purpose
-
Check for understanding with precision
-
Give feedback that moves learning forward
-
Foster belonging and collaboration among students
But the Praxis Deck is more than a collection of tips. It makes practice visible, creating a shared language for reflection, coaching, and professional dialogue. In coaching conversations or team discussions, the cards shift the focus from vague feedback to concrete practice — helping teachers and leaders talk about what they do, why they do it, and how it connects to learning.
The Praxis Deck works seamlessly with the wider Synnovate Suite:
-
The Learning Deck defines the principles of learning.
-
The Praxis Deck turns those principles into classroom practice.
-
The Frame Deck supports conversations about teaching and growth.
-
The Dynamics Deck addresses the cultural patterns that enable or block progress.
Together, they form a system: from vision, to practice, to culture.
For teachers, the Praxis Deck can be empowering.
It affirms that teaching is both art and craft.
It honours the fact that small, deliberate moves – like a routine at the start of a lesson or a new way of checking for understanding – can have the biggest impact on students.
