Parent Resources
Learning is a science. Like most educators, I am constantly reading and learning about best teaching practices. I like to take notes in the margins to make it easier for myself to go back to the bits I find most fascinating or useful. Rather than link you to the original article, I am sharing my notes. Anyone who is interested in the abridged version of such articles can scan through these PDFs to see what guides my teaching practices. PS: I include a link to the original article at the bottom in my citation.
