Since then, I tried to find a better balance between conceptual exploration-based activities and skills-based activities.<\/p>\n<p>This change in my lesson structure changed&nbsp;my expectations for my students&#8217; learning.&nbsp;I wanted my students to grow to prioritize mastering both the concepts <em>and<\/em> skills associated with a topic, instead of feeling content with just understanding one.
