1. How can I help my students become self-directed learners?

I’ve always believed in teaching children to become independent.  For them to become self-directed is considered a virtue.

I will provide hands-on activities that I will select for students to be able to do themselves, and keeping it consistent for them to instill in their minds that every assignment is going to be self-directed. I will allow them to take risks when trying the self-directed activities.
