We are constantly testing ourselves and the world around us, looking for information that will help us keep moving forward, keep learning and keep growing.

We experiment with what effect the objects and substances and creatures we encounter may have on us; what those
grow as a learner and to inform a teacher’s next step instructionally. The most valuable idea I took away from the literature was the importance of timely and actionable feedback.
