The knowledge we have gained will always fall short of what is to be acquired and so we always need to keep learning. That's what development is all about. The reach exceeds the grasp. In the light of knowing about learning differences, some people may know more about and be passionate about motors than about literature. In the area of expertise, let them consider themselves expert. The self esteem is worth it. Without self esteem, knowing he/she can DO it, the student loses fire.

I've found that learners often devalue what they know because it does not 'fit' the 'norm' of what is 'sold' as 'knowledge'. So, how do we value or 'teach' learners to see what they have as knowledge?
