What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teaching In the margins to me is a place where deep critical learning takes place, it isn’t an ordinary environment, instead it is enrich with biodiversity spread out throughout. Teachers play an essential role in the classroom, to take a lesson even further to spark the students interests, and breaking the normality of your average classroom we grew up in.<\/p>\n\n\n

A Center is known as a place with no diversity, somewhere where everything is identical and the same, the margin are those areas beyond the center, where there is great diversity, and exploration can occur, there are risks and stakes. Both Center and Margins are dependent on each other, one cannot exist without the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Teachable moment vs Margins<\/h2>\n\n\n

    We already defined what margins are, a teachable moment is an event which a good opportunity for learning about something occurs. So… what is the difference? A Margin is something we reach for, it can be expected and we know where and how to find it. but a teachable moment is more random and sporadic, we don’t know really when it will occur or where, we just know that it will eventually occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
