Learning is a consequence of thinking, and good thinking is learnable by all students. 2. Learning should include deep understanding, which involves the flexible, active use of knowledge. These principles provide a structure for schools with a vision of a learning community that is steeped in thinking and deep understanding, that engenders respect for all its members, and that produces students ready to face the world as responsible, thinking members of a diverse society.
