Thing #1 had a great tutorial to view. This video tutorial discussed the 7 and 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners. There were some really great examples of how to be the best lifelong learner you can. I was surprised at some of the tips included. The hardest habit for me to do will be #4: Have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner. While the road to becoming a teacher is a long and stressful one, it is easy to get discouraged along the path. I must remember that each professional started out as a beginner and had to trudge along the learning path just as I am. While I may routinely face obstacles, part of being a lifelong learner is facing the challenges and obstacles head on and learning from them along the way.
The thing that will be the easiest for me to incorporate will be #1: Play! I love to play and I think many of our learning opportunities are presented not in a formal classroom setting, but in the real world with those you love around you. Learning is fun, even if it is challenging. Taking the time to find the joy in learning makes it a lot easier! Hopefully, I will be able to revisit each of these habits and successfully apply them to my life as I embark on the journey to become a teacher.
