Between the pressure of keeping up with the school curriculum, meeting with parents and running daily classes, Professor Johnson has little time for innovative ideas for students that promote their skills in the classroom. Last week, he created a plan with his students and every day, at the end of the day, the last hour is for them to work in their personal and unique project, expressing their ideas, thinking outside the box, challenge problems with innovative ideas and solutions. This allowed to add more passion to his classroom and students learn faster and more effectively.
