概要

 Some teaching strategies feel right—until they don't. The What & Who of EDU is kicking off season 2 with a banger, breaking down the most common student engagement myths that sound like good advice but actually backfire in real classrooms. From "just make it fun" to "you can tell who's paying attention by looking," these well-meaning myths often make teaching harder, not better. Whether you're teaching online, in person, or somewhere in between, this episode offers practical teaching strategies to help you rethink classroom engagement and reconnect with the students in your room. Brought to you by Macmillan Learning.
