persevere in classrooms where productive struggle is valued and seen as a growth opportunity.
experience meaningful tasks that build procedural fluency from conceptual understanding.
engage and reflect in their learning process to responsibly advocate for themselves.
demonstrate critical thinking by engaging in problem-solving, questioning, and collaborative discourse.
