Talking about *mental models*? Make sure you know what you mean.

It’s a popular term often used loosely.

They aren’t just bits of knowledge. They’re situation-sensitive tools for thinking.

Excited to announce I am writing a book on lethal mutations of research we commonly find in schools. I have a list of what I think are the most pervasive ones but would love to see if I have thought of them all...what do you think are the most common ones?

I have a question: what are your experiences of applying for teaching/leadership jobs. What's good? What needs to change? This includes interviews
