The final chapter of Davies' book was about resources for teachers in terms of assessment -- specifically on that of learning circles. She explains that using the brains of your colleagues is an invaluable resource. She offers how to set these learning circles up, how to utilize them, and their benefits. Finally, at the end of the chapter, she plugs her book many times.
Response:
I think it is really important to note that regardless of where you are in your life, learning still needs to be done. Another quote that struck me while reading this chapter was either by Bill Nye (and I think it was adapted from H. Jackson Brown Jr., but don't quote me on that) -- "Every person you will ever meet knows something you don't." We all have learning to do, and that's something that we always need to be aware of, and I think it plays a big role in the classroom. We're there to teach the students, but they know things we don't, so adding the dynamic of students as teachers poses to be very beneficial.
