This space is for unpacking, exploring, and making meaning together around language we use when talking about learning, learners, and thriving.
The words we use matter — and they don’t always mean the same thing to everyone. Our backgrounds, roles, experiences, and contexts shape how we understand and use different terms. Rather than assuming shared definitions, this space is here to slow things down and create room for dialogue.
You’ll see terms introduced here as starting points, not fixed definitions.
We can layer in ideas, examples, questions, and nuance over time — and learn from one another in the process.
This is meant to be a judgment-free space to:
- Lead with curiosity
- Reflect on language we use
- Ask questions about meaning
- Share lived experience or perspective
- Build a richer, more shared understanding of concepts connected to thriving
I’ll start new comment threads below for specific terms so we can return to them, add to them, and build on each other’s thinking over time.
🌱 The goal isn’t to get the language “right.”
It’s to understand each other better — so we can thrive together.
