Imagine a world where people finish their formal education empowered to take action, experiment, and even innovate. What's often the reality? They're instead highly trained in fitting into a box, have adopted a fear of failing, and feel confused when they receive their certificate. The "Fresh Forward" podcast is here to inspire ambitious educators like you to have fun, dare to experiment and shake up the way you teach in your classroom. In this bi-weekly podcast, I sit down … or sometimes dance … with daring, smart, fun teachers who are already shaking the ways we educate and learn.

True invitations bring engagement to your classroom with Neža Krek

When trained to be a teacher I got the message that I need to have full control over what happens in the classroom. Once I shifted to a facilitated approach in teaching that belief was hindering the engagement of my students. I had to learn to let go of my expectations. That happened through the redefinition of my relationship to rules. I started extending invitations instead - and the engagement in my sessions jumped.

In this episode I share my journey from a control freak to a skilled letting-it-go-er with the hope that it gives you the permission to relax and bring back the joy of teaching on yoru own terms.
