Traditional Learning Environments
“When a teacher tries to teach something to the entire class at the same time, chances are, one-third of the kids already know it; one-third will get it; and the remaining third won’t. So two-thirds of the children are wasting their time.” - Lilian Katz
Got it.
Didn’t get it.
