We must try to constantly reconsider the learning and teaching paradigms. Education is so important today and in the future. It requires that we keep rethinking it. Taylor Mali’s “What Teachers Make” says a lot about teachers. And, for those like me in a technical field, not only do we have to be SME (Subject Matter Experts) we also have to teach.
Grateful for the opportunity to join this learning path for a second time. So much to learn!
