“How does this add up to a REAL education?”


Hey Reader,
​
​Today’s Question:
​“I see them learning little things. But how does that ever add up to a whole education?”

You notice little things the kids are picking up - but it seems too small to actually COUNT as learning. Sound familiar?
The really interesting fact about learning is that it all adds up. Bit by bit. Pieces you or I maybe didn't even notice. And then weeks — years — down te road, the kids say or do something and you realize something DID stick that you had overlooked.
​
And that's how learning ACTUALLY looks. Random. Piecemeal. ACCUMULATIVE.

We just don’t always get to see when the pieces connect. That's happening in the learner's brain!

If you’ve been dismissing the ordinary moments because they don’t look big enough to count, this week's podcast is for you.
