Think back to the best teacher you ever had. Have you ever wondered what made that teacher so successful? Effective teachers, whether intentionally or naturally, follow the seven basic laws of teaching. This seminar, based on the Seven Laws of Teaching by John Milton Gregory, explores the seven foundational principles, as well as common errors teachers can make. Lots of practical and hands-on activities will be experienced.
