You need a whole sensory experience and be present as your thin slice, and know it well. Also, a test is too small of a slice, but you need to be able to have enough information to be able to Teachers themselves need to become first an IE perfinker in order to see if a student has perfunked. Teachers mind must be able to be cognitively strong, and then they can be a good leader. Walk the walk.- Modelling and capacity. Range of scope is based on a life-long set of tools. If we use these tools, it gives us habits of mind, and cultural understanding or habits of mind, so that we understand/able to articulate the exchange of ideas. The focus of IE is to
