Description
Every teacher gets about 30 minutes a day for lunch, and we want to share those minutes with you as we seek to improve our classrooms. We hope to spark discussion of topics in education as we try to separate the practical from the wishful thinking and apply good practice to our very traditional learning community. We invite you around our lunch table as we discuss among ourselves and invite others to join us periodically. The Teacher's Lounge is produced by EDU@YourBest and distributed by The Flipped Learning Network.
