Episode 5.17 - What I Get Wrong

We close out the journey with a needed reflection, a look at what I've been doing, how it fits our collective needs, and what we might see for changes ahead. I reflect on the integration of skills in language, the role of thinking skills, and why reading and interpretation cannot be about objective deliverables.
