What do we know?
>> information of arbitrary value

How do we know it?
>> Either through experience or communication

What does it mean to know something?
>> To have obtained information about something and independently determined it to be true

These questions are important for educators  to answer. They exert important influences on what we do in classrooms, but we can't let them get in our way of acting.
>> It's important to educators to speak and act within the means of which they understand themselves of being received. Not all are viewed as influential. None of them have all the answers. Everyone makes mistakes. A full-spectrum approach of self-presentation is important in order to maintain a healthy and conductive environment between teacher and student.
