"Decades of research on the difference between experts and novices has clearly demonstrated that experts see different things than novices. Novices tend to see superficial features, but experts see what is essential, the deep structure and critical features."
"Seeing is a function of what one knows. And herein lies the paradox (and challenge) of teaching a novice. A novice, by definition, does not have the knowledge to see what is critical."
"The first job of teaching is actually not to teach. The first job of teaching is to prepare the novice to see with an expert's eyes."
"The best way to really teach something is to engage students in problem-solving activities specifically designed for them to productively struggle and evolve their understanding."
