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
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!
