=**A daily reminder of the art and craft of teaching**= I recommend this article from a recent issue of the UVA magazine. I’m not endorsing Willingham; I just think the article is worth reading. http://uvamagazine.org/features/article/rethinking_the_way_we_learn One Amazon review for the book named in the article’s opening sentence listed nine principles that Willingham thinks are important: 1. People are naturally curious, but they are not naturally good thinkers.

2. Factual knowledge precedes skill.

3. Memory is the residue of thought.

4. We understand new things in the context of things we already know.

5. Proficiency requires practice.

6. Cognition is fundamentally different early and late in training.

<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">9. Teaching, like any complex cognitive skill, must be practiced to be improved.
