Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
Teaching and education are awash with myths. This book helps you explore some of them and asks:
- Where does this myth come from?
- How do we know that it isn’t true?
- Why does it matter that we challenge it?
Covering key teaching topics, it poses common myths and explores what the research actually says.
Using research as a basis to explore what it true and what is false, it gives you a more informed understanding and encourages important discussions about teaching and learning.
