Dear Teachers,
Your newsletter and “buzz” below. Lots of juicy stuff.
My reading tip is this understated article by Peter Greene about “curiosity”. It’s a great piece to get us teachers thinking about how we nurture this trait in our classrooms. Teaching is very much about psychology and fostering student motivation - we each need to find that recipe which will make this happen.
Happy teaching and learning
