Moving furniture in my classroom? I dream about it...

Adapting Teaching to Working Memory
Memory is one of the most important skills in a learning process. All the more so as two parts are stimulated. The so-called working memory receives the information and must make sense of it so that it can be stored more permanently in the long-term memory. Of course, it is possible to try to improve one's working memory but an adjustment of the teaching or revision framework would be more appropriate.
Overcoming violence through education
Let's integrate violence, its causes and consequences into educational acts rather than denying it.
The contribution of narrative practices to pedagogy
The narrative approach is an extraordinary lever for development. This approach enables us to dissociate the person who is supposedly the bearer of a problem from the situation he or she is experiencing. By shifting the focus on interactions, we don't limit the individual to being just a problem.
Benchmarks of confidence in education
