The Teacher's Antidote

Abstract

The Teacher's Antidote seeks to empower teachers to embrace their own experiences within the classroom rather than adopting the latest trends. It covers the benefits and disadvantages of using traditional and active forms of teaching, and it addresses the mental and physical effects that an abrupt change in teaching has on students. The question of how to learn is answered by the teacher. The paper includes an analysis of several peer-reviewed classroom experiments. It also includes a primary research survey that measures student opinion and stress levels regarding forms of learning.
