I am certainly supportive of an environment that supports thinking and reflection, and not merely rote learning. So there's probably something of value here. Still, it bothers me the way this article is written in the tone of a revival meeting, and I don't think you need to tithe or go on a fellowship to Harvard's Project Zero in order to foster "a new story of learning where thinking is valued, visible, and actively promoted as part of the ongoing, day-to-day experience of all group members." Maybe it's just the way this is presented, where there's this idea of having to 'believe in' something for it to work. But it's just science. You just start using it, and it works. You show people how to use it, and it works. It's not a belief system; you don't need to build a culture around it. Via Aaron Davis.
