	Teaching for Understanding
		Moreover, Gardner (1991) argues that students' understanding of the humanistic subject matters is plagued by a number of stereotypes--for instance those concerning racial, sexual, and ethnic identity--that amount to misunderstandings of the human condition in its variety.
		In summary, understanding something is a matter of being able to carry out a variety of "performances" concerning the topic--performances like making predictions about the snowball fight in space that show one's understanding and, at the same time, advance it by encompassing new situations.
		Analyses of understanding emphasize that concepts and principles in a discipline are not understood in isolation (Perkins, 1992; Perkins and Simmons, 1988; Schwab, 1978).

	VKP Glossary
		…learning with understanding is a process in which a person tries to make sense out of new information by connecting it to prior knowledge and establishing relationships among ideas…(4).
		Toward the "deep understanding" end of the continuum we would say the person's understanding is rich, elaborate, profound, thorough, expert, or well developed.
		In keeping with this, learning for understanding is like learning a flexible performance--more like learning to improvise jazz or hold a good conversation or rock climb than learning the multiplication table or the dates of the presidents...Learning facts can be a crucial backdrop to learning for understanding, but learning facts is not learning for understanding.

		The most understanding friend, the one with whom you are most comfortable and with whom you can talk your heart out are usually of your own sex.
		understanding is a matter of the intellect and not the body.
		But then the point is that this debate is really pointless...because what anybody anyway looks for is either love or understanding or both..we cannot ever really measure either of these, and neither is it important..Yes, I agree being close and understanding are different, none a direct consequence or even a prerequisite of the other.

	Teaching for Understanding
		At its core is a performance view of understanding: If a student "understands" a topic, she can not only reproduce knowledge, but also use it in unscripted ways.
		For example, a student in a history class might be able to describe the gist of the Declaration of Independence in her own words; role-play King George as he reacts to different parts of it; or write out parts of an imagined debate among the authors as they hammer out the statement.
		These are called "performances of understanding" because they give students the opportunity to demonstrate that they understand information, can expand upon it, and apply it in new ways.

	Understanding Prejudice
		Prejudices will be dealt with here as a single set of dynamics that function to dehumanize people who are identifiably different in some way from the people whose perceptions are limited by the dysfunction we call prejudice.
		First, it is easily defensible through the understanding of the dynamics of prejudices; and second, the continued separation and classification of prejudices according to the superficial categories of those who are prejudiced is a disservice to those who are the targets of discrimination and a distortion of reality.
		That approach looks at the problem in sub-categories based upon those who are the targets of prejudice behavior and distracts from the understanding that all prejudices are fundamentally the same.
