Teaching is an Act of Love

Let us move away from deficit thinking and the scarcity education model where education providers together with a group of experts use expensive resources such as required purchases for materials, texts etc., and paid access to platforms which in essence constitute a social justice issue.

Instead, let us embrace the social and situated nature of learning while embracing and developing an asset-based approach to teaching and learning.
