Where my dance teachers went wrong and what that taught me about teaching beginners

5 de outubro de 2015

by Natália Guerreiro

“And 5… 5, 6, 7, 8!” More than 15 years after I had my first lessons, I decided to take up ballroom dancing again.

Multi-level Classrooms: a challenge worth facing

by Laura Miccoli

Hi! As a teaching consultant in public and private schools, I often hear teachers complain about problems in multi-level classrooms.
