Brother Brown
A nice accident by Dr. Lo was the beginning of my friendship with Dr. Bryan Brown, a professor of teacher education from Stanford University.

Dr. Brown supports that the paradigm has to shift so instead of the right answer being communicated in the right language, teachers need to have enough pedagogical content knowledge to hear the right answer even if it is communicated in a nontraditional academic language such as everyday language, the language of the sport,
