Let’s Work Together Teaching Guide: Mystery

Dear Teacher, Mysteries appeal to students’ analytical minds as they bond with the protagonist-detective to solve the crime or series of crimes.

For the Love of Teaching and the Art of Learning. An interview with Laura Robb.

“Nothing can replace you, the teacher, in the classroom. Unlike computers and robots, when you possess deep knowledge about how children learn, you can process students’ actions, words, and written work and provide feedback that moves each child forward. Moreover, you have a heart and emotional center that enables you to build students’ self-efficacy, self-confidence, motivation, and engagement in learning because students feel your respect and trust, your hopes and goals, as they experience your investment in their progress”. – Laura Robb
