Learn MoreThe power of laughter and learning to connect with students
Life Education North Wellington educator Marsha knows the power of laughter in a classroom. Known as the queen of Harold jokes, her approach shows that fun isn’t a distraction from learning — it builds trust, curiosity and retention of knowledge. “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing those big, bright smiles when something clicks, when they have that ‘aha’ moment.
