As some of you may know, I recently spent an enriching two weeks meeting with ESOL teachers in Peru and Ecuador. We discussed how our knowledge about the brain can inform our approaches to both teaching and learning. As always, hearing about the challenges and successes of my fellow teachers has invigorated my thinking about the learning brain and pedagogical strategy.
