Adult Learning: "Advocacy for education starts with you. You must be a reader, a writer, a thinker, a collaborator, a creator. In short, create the space and the place for you to be a learner...Maybe it means you'll find a small group who will read a new professional text together... But I can promise, if you do not find a way to ignite your own learning, your own curiosity, your own creativity, you will not be able to do that for your students." --Kylene Beers by Lynsey Burkins
