Nothing Less than Critical

Our team aims at developing material on social issues that provide students with an extra content. Developing critical thinking demands an extra effort on the side of the teacher. We devote some of our time to sharing, reviewing, creating and analysing some teaching materials from on-going projects from secondary and EOI schools.
