Integrating Alternative Education Principles and Practices into Teacher Training Programs

Integrating Alternative Education Principles and Practices into Teacher Training Programs

Fresh-faced, idealistic, eager, and gung-ho, fresh bodies enter into the #schoolyear as #teachers - some for the first time, and others making the transition.   What have they brought with them that will help them long-term in their quest to educate the young minds that will scamper into their learning zones?
