https://www.teachthought.com/pedagogy/in-the-evolution-of-education-is-less-more/

For some teachers that could be true, but for most the last thing they need is more. They need different, and that’s what they struggle with. It’s simple: if your teaching practice is not having an effect on your students’ performance, you must change.”
