Estonian teachers employ classroom activities designed to ensure that students genuinely learn. However, teachers often keep the benefits of these selected activities to themselves.

PATERZELL, Germany — How do you teach a bird how, and where, to fly? The distinctive northern bald ibis, hunted essentially to extinction by the 17th century, was revived by breeding and rewilding efforts over the last two decades.
