In the past few years, our class has developed a statement of our belief about learning. We call it our Declaration of Intelligence. Here is where you will find our desire to improve. This year, I will be asking my students to memorize the declaration, and we will use parts of it to help us maintain focus through "call backs" in a lesson. Depending on the situation, I may expect students to recite or write the entire declaration as a demonstration of their understanding.
