Educators pursue four principal pedagogical goals

Educators pursue four principal pedagogical goals. First, produces population that is literate and numerate. (This goal is universal uncontroversial, and will not concern us further.) Second, provide the tools whereby future citizens can learn the truths of the society. (This goal is achieved through the transmission of key disciplinary lenses and practical procedures of work.) Third, ensure that the important moral laws (typically drawn from the ambient religious and legal codes) are known and enforced. Finally, transmit those human creations-narratives, crafted objects, decorations, dances, songs-whose forms and messages are most valued by the culture.
