Until a teacher learns to use elements like time, space, materials, groupings, and so forth flexibly, it's incredibly difficult to teach students as they need to be taught.

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."

Interest refers to student’s affinity, curiosity, or passion for a particular topic or skill.

It is not so important to have all the answers as to be hungry for them.

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

When challenge and skills are in balance the activity is its own reward

Accepting both the opportunity and the responsibility evokes a great deal of humility.
