Chapter 1: Pretty much outlined Cushman's rationale and structure for the book. I'm thinking about the phrase she coined: The strive of it. There's a lot there. Do we see our students striving, just for the sake of this kind of persevering work? I'm sure plenty of kids do. What about those who don't? When they don't - do we look to them or to ourselves? What do we do to help this strive?

Hope that we can keep this going……. Share your practice, your questions!
