MOTIVATION: How NOT to talk to children

P/PAL (Parental / Peer Assisted Learning)

This academic from Stanford University researches motivation and success. What she says here is very similar to some of the points that we make at our P/PAL sessions. Learning is a process, not a product, and it is very important for parents to realise that they are in a very special position to be able to help their children learn how to learn. Check out the blog archives for posts about P/PAL at SK Teh, SK Jerantut Jaya and SJKC Sungai Jan.

Talk to your mentor about introducing a P/PAL programme at your school.

Listen to the interview here - it's very interesting!
