Myths About Teaching Teenagers

16 de novembro de 2018

by Henrique Zamboni

Along the last couple of years, I have had the opportunity to deliver trainings for fellow teachers who were about to take on teenage groups.

Memory is the residue of thought, but what does that mean for teachers?

14 de novembro de 2018

by Henrick Oprea

If learning is personalized and engaging, it is likely to stick. If your students have fun during your classes, that’s more likely to bring about emotions that should aid the process of learning.
