"There is a saying that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. Unfortunately, it is too often the case today that the teacher has predetermined what is to be learnt, and the student had better be ready to learn it, without any explanation as to the relevance of the subject to the student's life. Teachable Moments may turn our ideas on teaching and learning upside down. It is student-oriented. It moves us into the students' world and challenges us to teach from there."

The author, Dr George Otero is the founder and director of Las Palomas, a multicultural and global education learning centre. In both the US and Australia, George has provided the impetus for a review of current teaching and learning approaches, with a particular emphasis on world issues and trends, building student leadership, and the capacity for change.
