Learning Beliefs

As a staff we believe that all people are capable of learning.  The statements that follow are reflective of what we believe about how people learn.

• We learn
• through our senses.
• through social and environmental interaction, and through a desire to make sense of our environment.
• when we achieve success, which in turn enhances self-concept/self-esteem.
• when mistakes are viewed as opportunities to grow (a positive risk-taking environment)
• We learn and develop at different rates.
• We have different styles of learning.
• Learning is enhanced
• when our body is rested and well nourished.
• when all the intelligences are recognized and fostered.
• when the learner has input and ownership.
• as a result of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
• through self-evaluation. 

• Emotional growth, resulting from a caring and supportive emotional climate, enhances all learning.
• Learning is best achieved through a process-oriented approach.
• Language is integral to learning.
• Learning Is Life-long.
