“I’ll Try”
Published by collinsd under Core Routines, Personal Story. Tags: coyote, learning cycle, reluctant learner.
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
Published by collinsd under Learning Cycle. Tags: natural learning cycle, reluctant learner, strategies.
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.
