Students Reaching Their Potential

From: Freedom To Learn

$1.30

I want my students to take as much responsibility for their own learning as I take for teaching. From the first day, I am developing all students as effective learners. No benefit can come from expecting students to learn until they learn how to learn and help each other learn. My methods must enhance the personal and academic development of all students. Also, I have to get them to work together and help each other. The bridge they have to cross is very wide, so the only thing they can do is to grow a little bit every day.
