If your learners persist in their education, that means your job as teacher is mostly done. If they keep coming back, taking classes, working on projects, etc, when the good teachable moments come, you can be there to engage them. The trick is getting them to persist. In my last message, I posed the idea of encouraging persistence by making the learning experience interesting, relavent, fun. There’s something else. Are you, the teacher, into what you teach? Do you like Math? Are you a History buff? Do you play with computers half the night, finding cool things to show your students? Do you see yourself as a teacher, a guide, a coach, and/or a model? Do you impart information to students, or do you infect them with your joy of learning? In other words, for your students to persist in learning, do you feel you must persist in learning? Do you think about this stuff? RS ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
