    Cascading New Knowledge: An Introduction

    From this module until the end of the course, we will spend some time discussing how you can share
    your knowledge and experiences with colleagues who are not taking the course. We will also explore
    ways in which you can collaborate with other professionals in the field, both face-to-face and virtually.

    In this introductory video, we will:

    • Explain the term “cascading”


    • Discuss why cascading activities have been included in the course
    • Consider how you may benefit from cascading
    • Describe how you can get engaged in cascading

    Let’s start!

    What is ‘cascading’?

    You have certainly seen a ‘cascade’ before, “a waterfall descending over a steep, rocky surface”
    (dictionary.com). You may have also encountered this word in other contexts, “a cascade of sounds” or
    “a cascade of events”, where this word is used metaphorically to refer to something falling or rushing
    forward in large quantities. In education, “cascading” is often used to describe a way of sharing
    knowledge and experience among professionals. For example, after attending a professional
    development event and learning new approaches, some teachers may teach other teachers what they
    have learned. In other words, they ‘cascade’ new knowledge.

    Why cascading in this course?

    There are two main reasons. You may have guessed the first one:

    • Increasing the course impact

    When you were accepted to this course and the AE E-teacher program, you were given a fantastic
    opportunity to learn and grow professionally with peers from all over the world. Once you complete the
    coursework, we are certain you’ll become a fountain of knowledge. It’s only fair that you share some of
    your knowledge with those who have not had a chance to join the program.

    The second reason is perhaps less obvious:

    • Double your learning

    A Roman proverb says “When we teach, we learn”. You know that from your own experience –
    explaining something new to students pushes you to think deeper and harder about that concept, you
    reorganize your knowledge, and that improves your own understanding. Also, it helps you identify ideas
    you need to clarify, or things you need to improve.

    We are sure you have many questions about cascading:

    What does cascading look like in practice? Will I have to organize lectures or classes for my colleagues? I
    don’t have time for this!

    ‘Cascading’ can take many shapes and forms. In many ways, it mirrors teacher learning, which can take
    place in formal to informal contexts. In the weeks to come, we’ll take a closer look at various cascading
    options and help you select most suitable ones for your teaching environment.

    We hope this video has helped you understand why we have included the cascading thread in this
    course: we want you to become a fountain of knowledge not only for your students, but also for your
    colleagues. We know you can do it!
