OUR PRINCIPLES ABOUT LEARNING & LEARNERS Learners learn in different ways and in different time frames. Learners like to learn, can learn and want to be successful. Learners learn best in a safe and welcoming environment. Learning is enhanced when connected to relevant, real world, experiences. Success breeds success and influences attitude, esteem, and motivation. Mistakes are inherent to learning. 2
