Pedagogy
“Everyone is a learner”
Educational theorist, professor, or an author I read
This notion is a core value in my teaching pedagogy & how I shape my classroom – see posts for more
Reflection
Reflection is an extremely important catalyst for turning theory into practice. Or re-evaluating your practice to grow. It is necessary investment for progress
