It is my relative distance and disenchantment from traditional constructs of education that fuels my passion for education. And so, I find myself in continuous pursuit of understanding how we learn and how best to inspire and facilitate the learning of teachers and students alike.

How might we continuously examine, shift and refine our understanding of and approach to education by relentlessly exploring the often wide gap between what we know or believe in, and what we actually do.?
