To Love Learning …
Natural curiosity and genuine interest in the subject make learning joyful for everyone. How can we keep this natural joy of learning alive ?
Imagine
School……a place where you love to send your children
…and your children really love to go …
Kids, especially young children, are highly motivated to learn.
We can nurture this instinct by creating excellent conditions for learning. Kids thrive when we respond to their genuine needs.
When we give them time and space for individual exploration in inspiring environments, and when we teach them respectfully,
kids love learning.
Learning places that inspire self-directed learning provide all the practical tools, art-supplies, books, instruments, and hands-on materials kids need to enjoy working at their own pace, in their own style, and exercising their individual talents.
Frequent teacher-directed lessons complement and balance the self-directed learning experience.
Being mindful of healthy boundaries, like purposeful order
and respectful clear communication, will make sure that everyone feels safe and respected.
Self-directed learning can be included in any existing learning place,
from pre-school to high-school, as well as home-school,
Let’s create inspirational places
for self-directed learning & guided lessons !
