Learning-Success™
Model of Education
Transforms
"Average" Students
Ventura,
CA (11/05/01)...America's Learning-Success™
Coaches Mariaemma Willis, M.S. and Victoria
Kindle Hodson, M.A., explain why there is no
such thing as "average," in their book, Discover
Your Child’s Learning Style.
In
spite of our school’s best intentions,
the intellectual development of many of our
children is being unfairly short-circuited in
our one-size-fits-all classrooms. Students who
are labeled "average" or even "below average"
have incredible gifts and talents that are not
acknowledged and encouraged. These students
grow up never knowing how smart they really
are and become adults who think they can't accomplish
much.
Hodson
and Willis offer these suggestions:
•
Identify your children's learning styles
•
Respect your children's readiness for learning
•
Acknowledge your children's natural gifts and
abilities
•
Treat your children as partners in the learning
process
•
Encourage your children to explore their life
missions
The
Learning-Success™ Model searches for ways
that children learn differently and coaches
all children to Learning-Success™.
