The core skills of learning are a critical eye and an open mind.

Critical thinking is refusing to accept ideas at face value. Don't believe information until it's verified.

Openness is refusing to reject ideas at face value. Don't disbelieve information until it's falsified.

Hey @VbergMath and your cool math network! Here's a question about assessment: How would you define what the minimum level of "passing" is for a course? I'm thinking about this is terms of meeting standards and I'm trying to stay away percentages/points. #sbg

This is the answer to the question some have in their high school math/physics class, ‘When am I ever going to use this?’ 😂

[Chris Stoker @stokedaboutsci]

This is interesting.

Micah had some great ideas for getting kids doing field work and of the importance of being a role model.

@VbergMath this is good. We could use this at our next book study meeting.

How do you measure professional development's effectiveness? What if the evaluations are all glowingly positive, but months later, little has changed?

Here's a metaphor to help you think about what needs to happen for true change.

@johannabrown @GuchidaWasTaken I would agree. And I would add that focusing on improving our assessments naturally and more quickly drives changes to pedagogy/practice.

@ntbelcher I love this summary. The idea of mental models has been a powerful one for me throughout my career, both when I was in the classroom and now as one who helps train teachers and write curriculum. Good stuff!

@MartaStoeckel @SJDJ I do a whole lab with it to derive GPE = mgh

[Chris Stoker @stokedaboutsci]

This is interesting.

[Joe Milliano @MrJoeMilliano]

Well, it officially happened. Someone turned in an AI-written lab report. 😞

[Chris Stoker @stokedaboutsci]

@VbergMath I'm exciting to see what this is all about!
