“Pedagogical energy propels us to keep researching and wondering how to respond to the contexts in which we live, even when these contexts are difficult. We do this, first and foremost, because we [pedagogists] believe in what we do.” Dr. Calaprice @EYpedagogists #CApedagogists – at Toronto, Ontario
