Learning Curve Issue XXVIII Classroom Experiences Part 1

This issue we have a number of articles which explore the boundaries of the classroom and its importance as an investment for the future. Practising teachers have written about the ‘experiments’ they have had success with, others which were not quite so successful because they were ahead of their times. Other articles recount and convey the sense of responsibility a teacher feels when she realises that she has to play a gamut of roles, the sense of achievement and satisfaction when an unexpected learning lakes place. Documented, too, is the tremendous hard work and thinking that most teachers put into their work, thereby enhancing the sense of optimism in these exciting new times.
