“I’ll Try”
I had a conversation with the student today. I explained why I was disappointed with his attendance and work ethic. He nodded and said that he wasn’t feeling well and had to go home. I knew how the rest of the conversation would go. So, I fell into my routine and carried on and got the same response that usually comes up in this type of discussion.
Reluctant Learners
In the Coyote’s Guide on pages 178-179 the Learning Cycle is discussed with areas that people can held up. I read this an quickly saw many different students I’ve worked with over the years. I want to take a moment and go through the ideas in the book and how that looks to a teacher. Please share your ideas.
Coyote Speaks
I came across the book, “Coyote Speaks” by Jacques Rutzky 1 while doing a search for material related to Coyote Mentoring. I was also curious to see if the idea of Coyote Counseling was unique and that I was onto a new thingy.

Learning Cycles
A comparison of Kolb’s learning cycle and the Natural Learning Cycle that is a part of Coyote Mentoring. I realized why the Natural Learning Cycle calls more to my heart as a teacher than what I was instructed about learning back at University.
