The term "student" was defined in the middle ages. It is time to rethink what that implies and redefine the learner. Via Kathleen McClaskey
Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
This is so very true. People develop a real meaningful reason for learning or the learning will have much less staying power. I love what this article points out. Teacher's function best if they provide guidance for the process and monitor success.

All of us are learners. Think about it. We were born curious and open to learning or we wouldn't walk or talk. It's just how each of us were made. Learning is part of us. We were not born students-- we were born learners. Our first experiences of learning was through play and discovery.
A learner... >> develops their own learning goals. >> monitors their progress in meeting their goals. >> has a purpose or interest to learn something. >> asks questions.seeks information. >> finds ways to collaborate with others. >> wants to know something because they want to know it -- not for a grade. >> is curious about life and never stops learning.
Rethink what the term "student" implies.
What are your thoughts about using the term "learner" instead of "student"?

It's been so long since I could call anyone a "student" with a straight face. I call people participants and learners... because the "student" label means I'm a "teacher" and I'm not...I'm a learner, too.

This is a structuring I really think will be the way to encourage more self-directed and self-motivated learning. The very young may need a bit more traditional structure to feel stable, but for 6th grade and up this could really work well. Even for the very young a good bit of their learning could happen in more open environments. Delete the scoop?
