Case In Point
Singing is an innate ability, but few of us would volunteer to sing at the Metropolitan Opera. Even with training, not all singers will progress to proficiency in opera, but we can expect trained singers to no longer drop the bucket in which they try to carry a tune! The same goes for learning. Not all students will become proverbial rocket scientists, no matter what their training in how to learn. But, WITH training, ALL students can learn more efficiently and less painfully than without.

The BAD News:
Very few students—regardless of age—have a clue that they could do something about how “dumb” they think they are. They have little, if any, understanding of their own style or the how to’s of learning. |
|
The GOOD News:
Given information and examples, students can put themselves on the road toward taking responsibility for their own learning. |
