Teaching Today

a self enhancement program for school teachers

‘Teaching is one of the most challenging and important human endeavours because teachers and teaching hold the power of the future in their hands’
Good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher’

– Parker J Palmer (Courage to teach)
