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

We have students at the university say on a regular basis, "You're asking us to think and no one has ever done that in school."

We're teaching a generation of students who've been schooled to produce quick, right answers on demand. They are not comfortable with ambiguity. The implications of that in the long term are discomforting.

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.

As a teacher, it is your job to make explicit whatever you though was implicit

As educators we need to understand that there is no finish line in our work.

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