True Learning:
A Renaissance in Education and Authentic Learning
Chapter 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 accepted behavior.
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
