Abstract

I am honored to be part of a series that includes many of my academic idols – scholars I have read and cited for years. Because my involvement in educational psychology has lasted for over half a century, I have been asked before to share some “acquired wisdom” (Shaughnessy, 2004; Woolfolk Hoy, 1996, 2000, 2008a, 2008b, 2018). Selected ideas from those previous musings made their way into this essay.
