The Question
Having the opportunity to discuss student's strengths and challenges during an initial call with a family provides Ms. Melissa key insights into the educational journey each child has experienced. After these experiences have been shared, she will often ask an essential question.
How does this student view themselves as a learner?
Its Importance
This is an essential question to understanding the student's learning process because confidence forms the foundation for learning. Those students viewing themselves as capable and who demonstrate resiliency will be more willing to take chances in the learning process. They are more willing to make mistakes which often accelerates the retention of academic material. Those students who question their worth will be reluctant to take the necessary risks in an effort to succeed. Thus, C & C Educational Support services focus on guiding students to increasing self-confidence before academic gains can be made.
