Richard Light, 1992, The Harvard Assessment Project

  9. Knowing and learning are communal acts. They require many eyes and ears, many observations and experiences. They require a continual cycle of discussion, disagreement, and consensus over what has been seen and what it all means.Parker PalmerThe Courage to Teach
