LearningSuccess™ Laws

Learning doesn’t have to hurt!

Success leads to more success!

Coaching brings out the STAR!

7

Instruction begins...

when you , the teacher,learn from the learner,put yourself in his / her placeso that you may understandwhat s/he learns& the way s/he understands it...

— Kierkegaard

8

You don’t get it?!

In just 2 minutes we can separate:

the “top,” “middle,” & “low” groups

the “good” behavior students from the “bad” behavior students...

9

10

You don’t get it?

If you don’t get it...

Will threats work? Will bribes work?

Does that mean you’re not motivated?

11

Why don’t you get it?

Some people were able to do one of theexercises but not both.

Some people couldn’t do either one!

Do any of these people have alearning disability?

12

13

The learning majority...

Are Inventing or Thinking / Creating

Are Tactile, Hands-On, Picture Learners

Yet most teaching is geared forlistening & print learners.

14

Learning Disabilities?

Hands-On & Picture Learners are considered“special needs”...

Do Hands-On & Picture Learnershave learning problems?

Are Hands-On & Picture Learnersinferior learners?

15

What about IQ?

Scientists discovered if you get a big enoughsample, anything you measure in naturemakes a graph shaped like a bell.

Educators decided it must be possible to measure intelligence & get the same results.

So they made up a test based on theirdefinition of intelligence...& that’s how the famous bell curve began!

16

The Bell Curve...

17

What’s wrong with the bell curve?

It’s used to label people: from very smartto below average & slow.

It makes assumptions about intelligence basedon a very narrow definition of intelligence.

It ALWAYS leaves

many children left behind!

18

Hands-On Learners...

are considered below average in intelligencebecause of how they score on IQ tests...

make up 50-60% of the population = average!(80% when combined with Picture Learners)

are potentially our most brilliant people: mechanics, engineers, builders, architects, artists, musicians, scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs, discoverers, craft artisans...

19

Hands-On Learners...

If Hands-On & Picture Learners are our “average” learners...

& make up the majority of our learners...

& we taught to these learners...

they would get the A’s!

20

21

LD = Learning Deceived

Different does not mean inferior.

We need to stop labeling & start lookingat how each student learns & thinks.

Go beyond “no child left behind” to

EVERY CHILD SHINES!
