Everyone needs time to think and learn.
We each learn in our own ways, by our own timeclocks.
It is okay to make mistakes. That is how we learn.
It is intelligent to ask for help. No one need do it alone.
We can to more an learn more when we are willing to risk.
These five basic rules should be embodied by teachers, mentors, coaches, parents and students alike.
If everyone who is involved in the process of learning would take into account that we all have a wide variety of talents, skills, characterisitics and tolerances, and that each of us must be given the opportunity to develop our own success the process of learning would be far less stressful and much more enjoyable for all.
Educators must understand that there is no definite timetable for learnig. Just because the curriculum guide or our semester overview or our lesson plan says we are supposed to be on chapter five, this des not mean that we are all ready for the content or skills in chapter five. However, we do not live in a perfect world where everyone is allowed to do what they want when they want to. Therefore, we must
create a learning environment that provides the comfort and security for our students to be willing to attermpt new things, to make mistakes and take risks, knowing that the process of learning is the ultimate reward and that success is measured against oneself not against an artificial measure of the group.
