Cultural humility is a term I stumbled upon when doing an extensive literature review for my dissertation. I could not love the notion more given how needed and applicable it can be in today’s world.
3 prominent conceptions of teacher learning
Hi all, I hope you’re all doing well and safe. I have been preoccupied with job hunting at this difficult time and therefore did not get a chance to update my blog for more than 10 days. My bad!!
