If you help a butterfly out of its cocoon it will die.
I think the challenge how do we move learners from their comfort zone into their learning zone?
Karen suggests the following ideas :
= Explicitly teaching the learning pit
= Using the learning depositions to teach the strategies to get out of the pit.
= Reframing mistakes as learning experiences and sharing the different types of mistakes
= Having a safe place to take risk
=Encourage responsible risk taking by talking with learners about the avoidance strategies they use when learning get tough and having clear goals with learners
= Celebrating the process as well as the outcome of learning and look for growth of learner explicitly.
Ideas that I am going to try:
- When learners are sharing their ideas, I am going to only thank them only for their idea and continue to ask for ideas until all learners have offered ideas.
- Be explicit about the strategies (learning dispositions) you can use to break through the wall in the pit of learning
-
Reinforce the above statement using walking or biking your bike as a reference,
