- Gardener / Feedback is the breakfast of champions. / We must first recognize that the way we learned the information we plan to teach is not necessarily the way our students will learn it…..we need to provide choice and options for students who do not learn the same way we do. / If a student has the mindset not to comply, nothingyou can do can make him. We cannot use externalmotivation to force, bully, or coerce a student to learn. Internal motivation, however, guides all human behaviour. We can create the conditions where all students choose to learn.
Whoever explains learns.
