Future Focused Teaching & Learning

Teaching our students to evaluate online information is more important than ever before. So many teens become easily swayed by the proliferation of influencers and misinformation found online.
Within the Transformational Teachers online professional learning community we talk about this - and provide practical strategies for how teachers can help their students to develop these important critical thinking skills.

Being able to think critically is more important than ever before! With the amount of online information at our fingertips, teachers no longer need to be focussing on teaching students what to think, but rather HOW to think - being able to effectively evaluate online information is so important if we want our students to be able to make fully informed, logical decisions, and ignore the huge amount of misinformation that is out there!

Join me at the Effective Teachers Conference this week to learn more.

It should not be difficult to understand how important it is to support and advocate for educators. They play a major role preparing for that future.

Whether you are in education or not, you are affected by it. If this isn’t enough to support the work of educators, I don’t know what is.
