Through others we become ourselves.
~ Lev S. Vygotsky
A word devoid of thought is a dead thing, and a thought unembodied in words remains a shadow.
By giving our students practice in talking with others, we give them frames for thinking on their own.
Learning is more than the acquisition of the ability to think, it is the acquisition of many specialized abilities for thinking about a variety of things.
... People with great passions, people who accomplish great deeds, people who possess strong feelings, even people with great minds and a strong personality, rarely come out of good little boys and girls.
The teacher must adopt the role of facilitator not content provider.
