  2. Connect your curriculum to paintings, music, films, and other forms of art.
  3. Require students to examine material from two very different points of view.
  4. Let student inquiry guide a lesson.
  5. Create a system that allows students to skip material they have already mastered.
  6. Move faster.
  7. Comment on quality and effort, not just correctness.
