Kathleen Porter's List: Developing PLCs

• Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from  the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.
  
  The  function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to  think critically.
• The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy  objectives upon which to concentrate.

• vastly more effective
• cognitive approach
• double-loop learning
• question every aspect of our approach, including our methodology, biases and  deeply held assumptions
• more psychologically nuanced self-examination requires that we honestly  challenge our beliefs and summon the courage to act on that information, which  may lead to fresh ways of thinking about our lives and our goals
