Be an #authoritative #teacher, not an authoritarian one. “Give students a rationale for what you’re doing and why it matters” – that’s how you build #trust in the classroom and a safe place for learning, says Kimberly Tan, speaking at #MicroCon22. #MicroSociety #education

Day 2 of #MicroCon2022! Thomas Armstrong tells us to stoke the natural #genius of kids by creating a "genial" environment conducive to #imagination, #play & creativity. When kids invent a new #MicroSociety venture, “that’s the genius of childhood and adolescence manifesting itself.”
