Sharing things with you:The Takeaway Thought:"It is dangerous to think about our students as “thinkers” - human beings never just “think”. We are emotional beings who perceive, feel, and think simultaneously. Our students - all learners, are “perfinkers” (David Krech). What does teaching look like when we acknowledge that our students are perfinkers?"Gillian Judson"If you say something to an individual and you think that they grasp your meaning, you are a full.
