Who says that learning can't be fun? Hear from seasoned educator Bastiaen Norel, along with several other TeachBeyond teachers, about what it can look like to make learning fun, encourage exploration, provide opportunities for creativity, and celebrate achievements.

• Cultivating a Culture of Love for Learning by Bastiaen Norel
• "We all have a bit of intrinsic motivation for things we love."
• Drive by Daniel Pink
• "I forget about time, and that's when 'flow' happens. You want to aim at getting children to come to a point where [...] they're unaware of what's going on, they're so intrigued by their subject and what they're doing."
• "Keep their interest by changing or mixing your learning styles. I think that is vitally important to get a good response."
• "If you teach the subject over two or three years, you will build up material that you can use again."
• "All children are placed in their class for a purpose; it's not by accident."
• "We are always on a transformation journey."

What's changing our lives:
