Thoughts to remember:

• Need to always (or at least frequently) ask students to explain answers - even (especially?) when they are correct.
• Need to use more open-ended questions.
• Need to focus less on the answer, and put more focus on the process.
• Need to have students do more writing about their thinking.
• Need to have students do more self-evaluation.
• Need good ways to document what I learn from interviews/conferences.
