“I’m very concerned that our society is much more concerned with information than wonder, in noise rather than silence. How do we encourage reflection? … Oh my, this is a noisy world.”

#Students who set their own goals and get regular feedback on progress have higher levels of achievement in general, beyond only the #goals they set (Hattie, 2009; Henderlong, et al., 2007). Here’s a template.

The basis of PBL is real-world application. We are always striving to eliminate the dreaded question, “When will I ever use this in the real world?”

@B_Sheridan …many…lament the time and money that they must invest in upskilling and reskilling graduates so they can “actually learn skills required to be successful at work versus the skills that made them successful in a classroom.” From: https://t.co/AVikHnQekL

@BrentButt I think it would be funny if you had both… with a disclaimer that you just couldn’t decide.

[Marc Mailhot @MailhotMVPS]

@danielpowersjr @va_lockhart @rebelEducator I definitely see it too. Curious to hear what you find / think is behind the push-back?

Progress rarely happens in a straight line. It typically unfolds in loops.

Day by day, it can feel like you’re spinning your wheels. If you look back on your trajectory over months or years, you can see forward movement.

Major growth is the result of many seemingly minor turns.

@StacieOliver100 Really amazing work. Great job Stacie!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes.

You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion.

Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.

[Marc Mailhot @MailhotMVPS]

And in keeping with this: “The last proceeding of reason is to recognize that there is an infinity of things which are beyond it. There is nothing so conformable to reason as this disavowal of reason.” ~ Blaise Pascal

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

At the root of our polarization problem is a deficit of intellectual humility. Too many people refuse to admit that they might be wrong.

Diversity of thought opens minds. Intensity of conviction closes them.

Knowing your knowledge is incomplete is a prerequisite for learning.
