Things I Wish I Had Known before now...
With the research I have been doing lately I have come across many things that seem like they should be at the very heart of teacher training, but are things that I have never seen before. Rather than put my own list together, here are some links to articles put together by educationalists with a much better understanding of the concepts than me, and also much more eloquent writers!
