Examples

Staying low on the ladder of inference means that we don't make assumptions or conclusions right away. We take data and look at it on a surface level. We practice notices and wonders before we ever consider taking action.

Examples

Correct: I notice that the scores on the last unit test were lower than the one before.

I should probably restructure the unit I am currently working on to increase future scores.
