Jeffrey, the problem may be that in able to measure learning we reduce it to numbers that then become evidence of learning? People then become numbers specialists and forget all about learning.

Was thinking ‘local’ could also refer to ‘in the moment’ as learning ‘happens’ and then reflection sets in to sort and sense-make that flash. To build something from it seems like a different activity than the initial prompting or surprise. And that again is is different as it exists as version detached from the original. Most of what we call learning is finding a place, a name a category that will accept what we understood in that moment as communicable to others.
