How to maximize the potential of every individual?

My story….

“To succeed in the future, we need to identify the personal TALENT in each young person and help them develop it. Every guy hanging around at the shopping centre doing nothing has huge potential in him.”

Aleksej Fedotov, Founder of the Muutosvoima coaching programme

•Equality must not be synonymous with giving the same thing to everyone. Education requires personalization and diversification. (diverzifikáció)

• Learners come from various backgrounds and nationalities. They have different interests. Instead of equality we should be talking about fairness. The education system must come more flexible in order to see learners as separate individuals rather than a single mass.

Learning is a holistic prosess which involves physical activity, recovery, sleep, nutrition, mental health, relationships etc. as well as motivating teaching, guidance

and home support. It is essential to realize all the factors which are involved

in learning process.”

DependenceThe teacher determines what, how and

what, how and when learning takes place

Learners are independent problem solvers

Learners are interdependent problem-finders

Motivation for learning Learners trust the teacher to guide them through the content

Intrinsic motivation boosted by rising to challenges

Learners plan their own journeys in the knowledge that there is always more to

learn

Focus of learning Subject and curriculum centered Goal driven and task focused Enquiry driven, thriving in complexity

The potential of every individual shoud be maximised

Key question to every educator: How we get this person from here to there?

Here

There

What is person’s here -the current state?

What is person’s there - the full potential?

Traditionally we try to solve the person’s problem with educational methods,

like additional teaching after the school

Educational megashift from a structure to a process

Departments of the Education are building constantly heavy structures for schools all over the world, instead of finding ways to support

individual’s learning processes.

Structure Process

StructureProcess

We have to make a megashift from structure of a schoolsystem to a process of a learner.

Can less teaching be more learning?According to the scientific research well-being is connected to

motivation, happiness, concentration and learning results.

This is not new knowledge

The new thing is that we can create a strong learning process by making the pedagogical decisions through the measured

well-being results.

By doing that the teacher can reach into individuals every day life 24/7 and through that knowledge adjust students process either direction. Side product of the process is reaching the

person’s maximum learning potential.

What I have found out?The picture of my schoolday is a result of my students 16 hour lifestyle outside the school.

It is possible to pass your thinking to an individual outside the school without you being there.

Three important words from Simon Sinek: Why, how and what.

Concentrating on the WHY-word in my teaching I have gained results with my students. After the why comes how and what. It all about process. Students get the evidence of their real life from the monitors that are measuring the body symptoms about stress, recovery and activity. By understanding your body you can discover your soul.

By reaching the heart of a student, you will reach the whole family and community.
