Year: 1999. Group: Basic 1. Place: Uberaba, MG – Brasil. Seventeen-year-old Ana Carolina stepped into a classroom for the first time.

From novice to expert: what teacher development frameworks can teach us

5 de junho de 2019
by Natália Guerreiro

In fact, the word “daunting” immediately brings to mind a Duck commercial that was constantly on when I studied in Australia.
