Everyone needs to have a teaching bag of tricks

The demonstration will involve the audience in quick to assemble and use cut-up activities for various lessons. By preparing simple strands of information for students to organize and discuss, teachers will learn to pre-teach and pretest students to see what they already know, or how to review previous lessons.

A principled-based approach towards student empowerment

Although there are socio-educational issues common to us all, every Argentinian teaching context presents its own characteristics making each one of them a unique universe of different challenges. Adhering to a single teaching approach, method, book or activity gives us peace of mind- because a class has been delivered- but it does not lead to student success and we can tell. How? We are not satisfied with our own performance as teachers because we do not see any meaningful learning taking place. This presentation discusses a proposal based on principles that aim at bringing authentic learning to today’s classrooms.
