At our programs in debating, we teach students about fake news. Here are some categories that we see emerging clearly over the past few years:

Factual fakes
 » Read more about: Fake news categorized  » that are relatively harmless in content (but end up being the first step in the path leading to more gullibility) – elephants drunk on rice wine in China due to the lack of crowds in Corona lockdown times, dolphins in Venice’s canals.

In light of recent developments, The Teachers Collective (optimistic as we are about face-to-face classes at some point, hopefully soon) will go online next week with Study Skills and Debating workshops.

It is an abbreviated 1 hour session, keeping the new format in perspective.

The Teachers Collective is happy to announce our 2-part workshop on The Merchant Of Venice.  Shakespeare’s classic comes to life: we seek to understand the context of the play and appreciate the Bard’s genius, while getting a better understanding of the characters and plot of the evergreen play.

The Teachers Collective is thrilled to present the session that started it all and a man who pushed us to do more – Shakespeare.

Shakespeare can be daunting to read in the original and yet, the beauty of his work, the plot lines, the relevance of someone who lived and died in 1600s, one of the few who died on his birthday (trivia alert!), all this means his works are still read and taught in today’s times.

One of the many myths we face as teachers of math is the existence of a ‘math person’!  In truth, there is no math person or language person, no concept of creative types not being scientific in their thinking. We don’t have the luxury of eschewing any kind of skill in general and then, specifically not in the scenario we are staring at: trying to prepare kids for a career when no one is quite sure of which direction their own careers are going…which will remain standing when the AI and technology storms rage.
