Formative Action Loops - and why teaching effectively involves creating them constantly. https://t.co/G42fafTKWh @toetsrevolutie@ValentinaDevid Rene Kneyber. Using this concept all the time now and it makes so much sense... it's all about loops!
Here's what gets me buzzing about our Bangkok formative action workshop: you'll have that lightbulb moment where everything clicks, but then we actually help you implement it back at school.
