[Students] are exposed to many things the majority of their teachers didn't encounter until much later in their growing up years.

We need teacher educators who regularly spend a great deal of time in classrooms so they have a deep understanding of where they students will teach.

[Students] often have a "We can figure this out - don't just tell us" attitude. In that way, they can be less patient with "traditional" approaches to teaching.

We can always gain more depth and breadth in our work [as educators]. There are always new discoveries to be made.

We aren't quite sure what we're trying to differentiate, and therefore can't quite see how to do it other than giving some students more to cover and some less. That rarely works.

It's important to know how to lead and manage a classroom with flexibility. Students of all ages are quite capable of learning these routines and contributing to their success once the teacher is comfortable guiding students in that direction.

Readiness is a student’s entry point relative to a particular understanding or skill.
