True Learning:

A Renaissance in Education

 CH 3:  MAKE IT EASY TO BE SMART

TEAMS AND CLARITY

Provide clear, defined criteria to set achievable goals.


With a working partner, both benefit from solving challenging goals -   at their mutual level of expertise.


Self-worth blossoms as independent action becomes the norm.


EXAMPLE

Before the class answers a question, every child confirms

the answer with another student.

No matter who answers the question, everyone is assured

their answer is correct.

Hands wave for a turn to answer!


All things are difficult before

they are easy.

Thomas Fuller
