Many great educators have said many great things about the importance of lifelong learning skills. John Dewey, however, probably said it best: “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.”
Educators want their learners to succeed both in and out of the classroom. The idea is to make sure that once they leave school they no longer need us. In essence, our learners must become the teachers and the leaders. The point is that they never stop being learners.
This is what it means to be a lifelong learner. Below are a few ways that you can help them achieve this priceless mindset.
