In the last episode of our series on Minimalism in Teaching, Michelle Olah talks with Thomas Sauer about decluttering our curriculum and initiatives by examining our teaching practices and questioning if those practices are serving us or our students. He also gives us a preview into the redesigned TELL Project (Teacher Effectiveness for Language Learning) Framework that will be coming out soon.
