Effective Classroom Management to Encourage Listening (and Regulate Blabbermouths) By Robert Montenegro Everyone remembers the one kid in each classroom who loved to hear himself/herself talk (for the purpose of this example we'll call this person something random and totally not steeped in reality or based on a real person: Adrian Spencer).

Desde 2009, el Icfes tiene una oficina de investigación que se preocupa por traducir la vasta cantidad de información que recogen en las pruebas estatales en políticas para mejorar la educación. Los seminarios de investigación en los que se socializan experiencias significativas nacionales e internacionales forman parte de ese objetivo.
