Activity 6: Reflecting on My Learning
How can I help my students become self-directed learners? I can encourage them to persue their interests. This may be as simple as teaching them how to find books about things they are interested in. (In kindergarten this is teaching them how to ask the librarian for books about a given topic.) I can encourage students to ask questions.
Self-directed learners know what to do when a task is completed (get a library book, a file folder game) and they must be taught these things.

How can I support the diverse needs of learners? I can provide instruction in a variety of ways. Kindergarten students need many "hands-on" opportunities.
