He emphasizes the importance of engaging students in discussions and bridging the gap between what they know and what they need to learn. Dr. Feil also highlights the need for experimentation, continuous learning, and accessibility to create a safe and effective learning environment.Key Takeaways:- Find out what your students already know and build the bridge to new knowledge.- Be willing to experiment with different questions and teaching strategies.- Continuously learn and stay updated with evidence-based practices.- Lead by example and show your students that you are a lifelong learner.- Help your students feel competent by using prior knowledge as building blocks.Special thanks to both our sponsors, The NPTE Final Frontier, and Varela Financial! If you are taking the NPTE or are teaching those about to take the NPTE, visit the NPTE FInal Frontier at www.NPTEFF.com and use code "HET" for 10% off all purchases at the website...and BREAKING NEWS!!!!

What makes them unique is that they view financial planning as like running hurdles on a track. And for PTs, the first hurdle many of us run into is student loan debt. Varela Financial will help you get over that hurdle. They not only take the time to explain to you which plans you individually qualify for and how those plans work, but they ALSO take the time to show you what YOUR individual case looks like mapped out within each option. So if you're looking for help on your student loan debt, or any area of your personal finances, we highly recommend working with them.
