Notes de l'éditeur
Astudent’s ability to engage in a class is strongly enhanced bya nurturing relationship with the teacher.
One of the strongest soft skills a teacher can possess is the ability to influence the emotional state in the classroom.
We need to teach both methods of thinking so that students will have the ability to use both sides of their brains effectively.
Students need predictable ritual to feel safe yet within that ritual needs to be enough novelty to keep boredom from setting in and destroying any hope for engagement.
