P3 – In one sentence. please promise that this from this point on in this conversation, in each and everyone of your responses, that you will construct your responses, in conception and representation, within congruence with, or in explicitly demarcated difference with, our shared understandings about the learning diminishing consequences of using “other words for learning” that hide from our awareness the role of learning – shared understandings we developed in these earlier conversations (please read fully: https://davidboulton.com/other-words-for-learning/, https://davidboulton.com/outgrow-outlearn/ https://davidboulton.com/divination/ https://learningstewards.org/sa-neurplasticity/ https://learningstewards.org/growth-mindset-really/ https://learningstewards.org/maternal-socialization/ https://g.co/gemini/share/c92719e5945a

P5 – In one sentence. please promise that this from this point on in this conversation, in each and everyone of your responses, that you will construct your responses, in conception and representation, within congruence with, or in explicitly demarcated difference with, the shared understandings about children’s learning and facilitating learning that we developed in these earlier conversations (please read fully): https://learningstewards.org/cant-help-but-learn/ https://learningstewards.org/whatshouldtheylearn/ https://learningstewards.org/stewards/ https://learningstewards.org/intersection/ https://learningstewards.org/universal-learning-needs/ https://learningstewards.org/engaging-learning/ https://g.co/gemini/share/c0597a697da5
P6 – Summarize everything we have progressed through in one paragraph that most concisely describes what learning is. In another paragraph, learning’s cells to paradigms role in human life. Use a final paragraph to describe the fundamental intentions of stewarding healthy learning. https://g.co/gemini/share/9c4a705f0835
P7 – You promised to avoid using words for learning that diminish our appreciation of learning’s role. Yet here you use words like growth mindset, fostering, and developing without ensuring you convey their implicit learning. Then again at the social level you say learning is essential for ____ but isn’t that backwards? Transmission, innovation, and progress are all overlay descriptions of learning’s effects. “empowers children” means to steward their learning to learn be ever more autonomously learning oriented and enabled. How can we agree to be more careful to not use language for conventions sake that describes the activity or effects of learning without attributing learning. We must become more aware of learning. Respond in one or two paragraphs. https://g.co/gemini/share/5172bb46af6a
P8 – We are getting there, in your prior to last response you made the statement: “Stewarding healthy learning is about prioritizing how children learn over what they learn.” Why didn’t you make that point again in your last response? And by “how” we are talking not about a method or model, rather how healthily children learn. Doesn’t stewarding the conditions for ‘learning to flourish in becoming‘ begin with prioritizing children’s healthy participating presence in learning over our abstract objectifying measures of children’s performance in achieving curricular objectives? Aren’t all other considerations either scaffolding for learning autonomous learning agency or presumptuous impositions that assume the objective is more important than how the child learn through it? Respond in one paragraph https://g.co/gemini/share/f1980cfb1e2b
P9 – With everything so far in consideration, revisit our conversation about “learning needs” https://learningstewards.org/universal-learning-needs/ and while there read the referenced conversations as well. You just exhibited the social-mental convention that most impedes our progress in education and that is the presumption implicit in your words “fostering”, “nurturing”, and “we create the foundation”. We have previously agreed, per your words: “You’ve beautifully and accurately summarized the essence of our conversation and identified the core principle of ethical stewarding in learning: prioritizing responsive action to learner needs over predetermined content agendas.”
Point being is that when you, Gemini, use words like “fostering”, “nurturing” and many other “other words for learning” you should be careful to keep in mind that you are orienting your meaning from the provider’s perspective (outside in). If you agree with our conversation about learning needs and the miraculous intersection (https://learningstewards.org/intersection/) then stewarding begins with responsively resourcing their perspective (inside-out) awareness and utilization of their learning needs – that’s the base layer and 1st ethical promise of fostering and nurturing health learning. Otherwise those kinds of terms (fostering, nurturing) can be used to license racism and bigotry and particular educational production goals. What makes them serve the health of learning rather than conscript learning to serve a programming goal, is prioritizing responsively resourcing learning needs more fundamentally important that teaching them what we think they need to learn. In one paragraph demonstrate your understanding of and agreement or disagreement with our conversation so far. https://g.co/gemini/share/b933e7936bcb
