Great post! I love the part about individualized curiosity. Curiosity can be a vital part of learning but I think it is difficult to set standards on what we define as being curious because of our each individual idea and definition of curiosity. This is why I appreciated the illustration stating that guidance will be provided to meet those conditions. What I gather is that each person’s curiosity will be embraced and supported in the learning environment.

I love the part about active silence. Silence is often understood to be a negative presence in the classroom but I think there is value in a silence when it is effective and productive. Sometimes, silence is needed for students to learn and we can use this in our classrooms as well. Awesome point!

I really like the idea of it being an interactive process where both or all parties are engaged. This allows everyone to have a goal in learning and to be invested in the process. What I find to be tricky in the implementation of this, is how much each party participates and when has one participated too much? Too much to the extent that there is only one participant. In theory, we can have guidelines to prevent, but in practice, I often wonder if we can do this in an effective way that allows the learning to continue flowing.
