"Learning how to learn" is education's ultimate luxury belief. If your answer to plummeting literacy rates and AI job displacement is wooly thinking skills rather than teaching kids how to read properly, then you've confused privilege with pedagogy.

@JayKloppenberg @dperkinsed @C_Hendrick This is my definition of conceptual understanding, eager to hear thoughts and critiques. I've done this through a synthesis of definitions from other scholars over several decades.

@dperkinsed @gorge_lilley @JayKloppenberg @C_Hendrick If we consider that independent problem solving after extensive instruction is a form of inquiry BL, then it is an essential part of my practice. Thoughts?

This police officer responded to a car fire, inside was Hank, a dog trapped while waiting for his owner. Hank had crawled to the backseat, crouched down trying to survive. The officer smashed the window, pulled him out, and saved his life.
