Teachers are hard working people. High levels of intrinsic motivation is what enables this demanding profession to thrive in-spite of the demands of the 21st century. Love for learning and teaching, passion to motivate and engage aspiring young minds, and above all the will to ignite the passion for meaningful inquiry-based learning...these are a few of my favorite things …or for that matter for most teachers who love what they do!
“21st Century-Learning; Life-long learning; Critical Thinking; Inquiry based approach…” every workshop one attends these days is often “peppered” with these “catch phrases”, albeit used without thinking as to what it would mean in everyday classroom practice. How many of these workshops provide us with articulate steps and practical strategies that a busy teacher can adapt in everyday classroom practice?
