Abstract	Are western psychological and educational theory and practice truly applicable to a range of diverse settings around the world? We demonstrate that there is a globally dominant pedagogical orthodoxy--not exclusively western--for which there is little supportive theory nor evidence of efficacy. There is an alternative--Standards for Effective Pedagogy--that aspires directly and by design toward universalism. We describe this pedagogical system's nearly forty-year developmental history, as well as its methods, disciplines, and evidence for efficacy. Examples and prospects for application in a variety of cultures are discussed, as well as the political and philosophical limits of a universalist approach. (Contains 3 notes.) (Author).
