Overview of the course (as stated on the web page)
This free online course is for teachers of science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects, focusing mainly on the context of UK schools and colleges.

My thoughts
beforeIt's not hard to guess why anyone would participate in this course. It's provoking to ANY teacher not just STEM teachers. We all struggle with students' behavior at times. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm too harsh or too soft; too emotional or too emotionless...
I hope this course helps me find the middle. Understanding why someone did something is as important as what they did. And the same goes for me |
duringThere are lots of great suggestions. Some things I'm doing but I wasn't aware of it, or I hadn't had a name for them. Now I'm sure I am on the right path.
Isn't that something!? |
