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?

This presentation discusses a proposal based on principles that aim at bringing authentic learning to today’s classrooms.
