But this isn’t the mechanical practice of rote drills; it’s the lived practice of using what you know in real situations, reflecting on the outcome, and growing from it. Wisdom is what education ultimately aims for – not just that students know  things, but that they use  their knowledge thoughtf

Without information, there’s nothing new to learn; without integration, even the most fascinating fact floats aw

Every journey needs a destination, and for the JVDT learning journey, that destination is the Field of Application . This is where knowledge steps out of the textbook and into the real world. It’s the final station on our metaphorical train – but really, it’s the start of education’s true purpose. In the Field of Application, students take what they’ve learned (now thoroughly understood) and do something with it. They solve a real problem, create a real product, or make a rea
