Last Week I Learned: "Rest is not idleness"

While preparing for a webinar, Steve shared some of what he was reading about quiet time, rest, and strategic pauses for learning. One of the bread crumbs leads to the blog of Scott Barry Kaufman and what he is noticing and sharing, in particular the work of Mary Helen Immordino-Yang, Joanna A. Christodoulou and Vanessa Singh. He summarizes: "​They coin the term constructive internal reflection and advocate educational practices that promote effective balance between external attention and internal reflection." Dr. Kaufman has a new book coming out in April.
