The more I learn as a grown up, the less I know that I know. There are vast bodies of knowledge out there that I have not had contact with and really could probably avoid in my day to day life. So why shouldn’t I? It would certainly be easier….
The secret of teaching success isn’t mythical. It isn’t even that hard to work out. Watch any amazing teacher in their classroom and it is clear. The key to teaching success is to care about your learners and build relationships with them. For them to know that you really give…
