How people learn 3.), the resources available to become more proficient, are the key fac tors that may change an unsuccessful teaching experience to one tha t is highly productive. This teach ers’ test has been designed as a learning experience—not just to measure what a teacher does or does not know! Please complete this test by writing your answer in the magazine.
