Suggested Instructional Language

Summarise the session by relating CPs concerns, expectations and questions to change and remedial teaching. Change is inevitable. Factors of change include making choices, willingness, ability and focus. Teaching: As teachers, we must believe in change, must know it is possible, or we wouldnt be teaching because education is a constant process of change. Every single time you teach something to someone, it is ingested, something is done with it, and a human being emerges. (Buscaglia)
