Appropriate assessments are a crucial part of effectively educating students. But they only measure a narrow segment of what kids need to learn.

Sometimes in the world, there's such pressure to follow a certain path that we forget the importance of learning as we go.

We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn.

Learning happens in the minds and souls, not in the databases of multiple-choice tests.

Learning is its own exceeding great reward.

We learn differently as children than as adults. For grown-ups, learning a new skill is painful, attention-demanding, and slow. Children learn unconsciously and effortlessly.

Learning is finding out what you already know.

Some of the things I did in my early career were massive learning curves because I had no one to guide me. You learn very quickly because it costs you torment and trouble.

Standardization of our educational systems is apt to stamp out individualism and defeat the very ends of education by leveling the product down rather than up.

I have learned that, although I am a good teacher, I am a much better student, and I was blessed to learn valuable lessons from my students on a daily basis. They taught me the importance of teaching to a student - and not to a test.
