“The use of online assessment tools is giving teachers a more fine-grained understanding of individual students' skills, and assisting them to determine the necessary next steps to enable them to achieve their own learning goals. We are seeing more effective differentiation in classrooms as a result.” GivingUseNextIndividualUnderstandingGoalResultsStepsTeacherSeeingAchieveStudentsFineSkillsToolsDetermineOnlineClassroomAssessmentNext StepsDifferentiationAssisting Author:Susan Mann

“Everyone has the same amount of time, and hard work is simply hard work. As a result, what you do in the time you work determines what you achieve. And since what you do is determined by what you think, how big you think becomes the launching pad for how high you achieve.” ThinkingHardBigsResultsAchieveHard WorkAmountDetermineDeterminedPadsLaunching Author:Gary W.

“When you are thinking something, you have the feeling that the thoughts do nothing except inform you the way things are and then you choose to do something and you do it. That's what people generally assume. But actually, the way you think determines the way you're going to do things. Then you don't notice a result comes back, or you don't see it as a result of what you've done, or even less do you see it as a result of how you were thinking. Is that clear?” PeopleThinkingWayMindDoneFeelingsResultsClearAssumingDetermineYou Choose Book:Thought as a System Source: Thought as a System
“Even after rowing in all these pieces, it's often hard to determine who will be selected because the decisive factor in seat racing is speed not margin. Boat X beats boat Y by two lengths over 1000 meters in a time of 2:54. After exchanging "Dave" from X to Y for "Scott," Boat X beats boat Y by one length in a time of 2:51. From the rower's perspective, the result is that Dave beats Scott by a length. But in Mike's eyes, Scott beats Dave because on the second piece, X was three seconds faster-even though it only beat Y by a length.” TwoHardEyeThreeResultsPiecesPerspectiveBeatsDetermineSpeedFactorsBoatFasterSeatsLengthSecondsRacingMikeMarginsSelectedMeterRowingDaveExchanging Author:Chris Ahrens
“The universe is like a river. The river keeps on flowing. It doesn't care whether you are happy or sad, good or bad; it just keeps flowing. Some people go down to the river and they cry. Some people go down to the river and they are happy, but the river doesn't care; it just keeps flowing. We can use it and enjoy it, or we can jump in and drown. The river just keeps flowing because it is impersonal, and so it is with the universe. The universe that we live in can support us or destroy us. It's our interpretation and use of the laws that determine our effects or results.” PeopleUseCareLawUniverseEnjoyResultsSupportEffectsCryRiversDetermineInterpretation Author:Robert Anthony
“Recently, results of the Human Genome Project have shattered one of Science's fundamental core beliefs, the concept of genetic determinism. We have been led to believe that our genes determine the character of our lives, yet new research surprisingly reveals that it is the character of our lives that controls our genes. Rather than being victims of our heredity, we are actually masters of our genome.” BelieveHumansHas BeensCharacterBeliefResultsOur LivesMastersProjectsResearchConceptsVictimFundamentalsDetermineCoreGenesShatteredDeterminismHeredityGenomeCore BeliefsGenome ProjectHuman Genome Project Author:Bruce H.
