Our history
Guinness World Records - originally the Guinness Book of Records - the ultimate authority on record-breaking achievements, started out as an idea for a book of facts to solve arguments in pubs.

View our timeline
The idea came about in the early 1950’s when Sir Hugh Beaver (1890—1967), Managing Director of the Guinness Brewery, attended a shooting party in County Wexford.

There, he and his hosts argued about the fastest game bird in Europe, and failed to find an answer in any reference book.*

In 1954, recalling his shooting party argument, Sir Hugh had the idea for a Guinness promotion based on the idea of settling pub arguments and invited the twins Norris (1925—2004) and Ross McWhirter (1925—75) who were fact-finding researchers from Fleet Street to compile a book of facts and figures.

Guinness Superlatives was incorporated on 30 November and the office opened in two rooms in a converted gymnasium on the top floor of Ludgate House, 107 Fleet Street.

The principal at Bragg Elementary School held a meeting in which he reminded teachers to create learning environments that repre
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The answer is D. Another teacher puts his notes on PowerPoint and lectures from them to help students take precise notes that capture the content without misunderstandings.

Explanation:

Of all of the strategies the teachers used, this one is the least likely to meet the principal's expectations because it is the one that corresponds the least to the constructivist perspective in education. This perspective states that students should have a more active role in the learning process, and they should be able to apply knowledge to everyday situations outside school. They should also play an active role in the assessment of what they have learned, learning to reflect upon their learning process.

By putting his notes on PowerPoint so students can copy it, the teacher is not planning activities that involve student participation, on the contrary, they have a pasive role.
