Through the threshold is a log of a personal journey about learning about education. Despite having taught since 2008, I still feel I have a long way to go to reach mastery in this field. I write to share my opinions and fully expect that I may well be wrong on a great many things. I believe the only way for me to pass through the threshold concepts of teaching is through reflection and debate.
