We Are Natural Mind Changing

If You Are Not Prepared To Resign Or Be Fired For What You Believe In, Then You Are Not A Worker, Let Alone A Professional. You Are A Slave.

The Biggest Mistake Of Past Centuries In Teaching Has Been To Treat All Students As If They Were Variants Of The Same Individual And Thus To Feel Justified In Teaching Them All The Same Subjects The Same Way.

I Think That Every Educator, Indeed Every Human Being, Is Concerned With What Is True And What Is Not; What Experiences To Cherish And Which Ones To Avoid; And How Best To Relate To Other Human Beings. We Differ In How Conscious We Are Of These Questions; How Reflective We Are About Our Own Stances; Whether We Are Aware Of How These Human Virtues Are Threatened By Critiques (philosophical, Cultural) And By Technologies (chiefly The Digital Media). A Good Educator Should Help Us All To Navigate Our Way In This Tangled Web Of Virtues.

I Want To Understand How Best To Create And Preserve A Form Of Higher Education That We Value But That Is In Jeopardy For Many Reasons.

We've Got To Do Fewer Things In School. The Greatest Enemy Of Understanding Is Coverage... You've Got To Take Enough Time To Get Kids Deeply Involved In Something So They Can Think About It In Lots Of Different Ways And Apply It.
