Every child has a passion within them. It is our job as educators to help them find and follow it.
Education is mastering the visual memory through experience: To visualize, create, problem solve, internalize, reflect, and most importantly to share.
Education is questioning everything and challenging the answers.
School as it is is an old mold. You can pour and pound; most won't fit. Time for something new.
Learners' growth doesn't happen like that in a graph; rather, like plant roots--legitimate plant roots; teach to that.

Learning is watching the world unfold in sharply beautiful ways. Without learning, what world exists? We learn, in order to be.
Learning happens always and everywhere. We just need to grab those experiences and make them ours.
learning is what people do naturally. Our job is to maximize the richness of the individual's learning environment.
Understand education at many levels; have multiple foci. Discover growth opportunities considering interactions between individuals, groups and societies.
50% doing the real thing, 40% exercises, 10% talking about it.
Oceanic cadavers educate; to which most cannot relate. Tantrums by the school held; into which nothing shall be dwelled. Teach.
Students don't learn from watching or reading, they learn from doing or imagining doing.
