Source refs: `video:interview-dkagddve8sm@transcript:v1#seg-0181` - model: Another panelist says teacher collaboration improves learning more than anything else, yet systems neglect it and overemphasize knowledge transfer instead of classroom habit change in teacher training. Source refs: `video:interview-2-rt358x96i@transcript:v1#seg-0007` - model: Training only becomes sustainable when new methods are practiced, reflected on jointly, and repeated until they become habits.

It is not a manually authored canon page. Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed above. For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view.
