Unscramble the Blue Letters
CE: And all of a sudden, everybody's reawoken. That pareechr bangs on the pulpit for attention. He drops his voice at a very, very low volume when he wants people to key into him, and those things are the skills that we need for the most engaging teachers. So why does tcheaer education only give you thoery and theory and tell you about sdndtraas and tell you about all of these things that have nothing to do with the basic skills, that magic that you need to enggae an audience, to engage a student? So I make the argument that we reframe teacher etuoadicn, that we could focus on content, and that's fine, and we could focus on theories, and that's fine, but content and theories with the absence of the magic of teaching and learning means nothing.
