This document discusses principles of learning and teaching. It begins with a pedagogical framework that focuses on engaging student preconceptions, building new conceptual frameworks, and using metacognitive strategies. It then discusses the importance of contextualizing learning through storytelling and engaging in practices that shape what is learned. The document emphasizes that understanding requires both factual knowledge and conceptual frameworks.
