There’s just bits of it that sink in, but most of it doesn’t really register. You just kind of half listen and half not listen. He raves-on and you switch-on only sometimes just in case he asks you a question, but his voice is always there.
A response from a Year 11 boy about his Geography class and teacher.
"You could see it on their faces, the look of bewilderment. There were always children who seemed just lost in the classroom I've had great success with it. When you teach in this way, it's like a light comes on. The children know what you are talking about."
Teacher at Woodlands Primary School, Langwarrin, Victoria
