The Language of Learning

Articles

“There is a universal language that all schools have, regardless of their unique school culture. Much more than speech, this language of learning is a set of concrete skills and strategies for thinking, then speaking; for listening, then thinking; for translating curiosity into well-thought-out questions; for building on others’ ideas; and taking a conversation and train of thought to higher and higher levels.”
