I am reminded once again of the model of learning developed by NAEYC which states that all learning starts with awareness, moves to exploration, then inquiry, and last utilization. So if we apply that to us and TU, where we're at right now makes sense. We are now AWARE of so much more and our schema is so enhanced that when we go back and reread these chapters with this group, we are ready to just start exploring which is what you're doing, even though it's just skimming the surface. After some exploration through experience and rereading Ellin and talking to others, etcetera, you'll be ready to start asking questions and inquiring about much deeper issues than you were earlier and are now.
