This means, as exercise, that we get comfortable with the necessary repetitions of learning--reading and writing, listening and speaking with consideration. As social activity, strong teaching and learning allows us to consider knowledge production as constantly unfolding, knowledge production as a place where self-expression and communication...

Together, we won't just "learn Spanish/math", together we will use Spanish/math to prepare for a specific assessment.
