Dear DLT Members:

This wiki allows multiple users to contribute to the same page. Under each of the three principles from //Schooling by Design// are two questions. __Please click the edit button (above right) and then add your thoughts under each question.__

**1.) A key goal of schooling is fluent and flexible transfer--successful use of one's knowledge and skill, on worthy tasks in situations of importance.** My students would engage in more long-term, self-directed projects with potential for tranfer.
 * What would this principle look like in my classroom/school if it were fully realized? (How might students and teachers work differently?)**

**What implication does this principle have for my and my school's practice?** I would need professional development on how to design projects.


 * 2.) Engaged and sustained learning, a prerequisite for understanding, requires that learners constantly value their work and feel a growing sense of efficacy when facing worthy challenges. **

My students would need opportunities to share and present work they were proud of.

We might need to think of audiences beyond teachers and peers.

**3.) Success at transfer depends on understanding the big ideas that collect isolated or inert fact, skills, or experiences, so that new challenges can be met and new experiences understood.**
