At the end of the day, learning is a deeply personal experience. When something is learned, understood, and finally becomes transparent to the student, it is a very special kind of individual accomplishment that changes that person forever. When our students are engaged and invested in their learning and are truly having fun, that’s a big part of how learning “sticks.” Both learning and the thirst for it are the eternal gifts teachers give to each one of their students. These gifts are possessions a student never loses, and which benefit them for life.
