Empowering Students for Tomorrow's World
Victoria Olivadoti offers educators time-tested and proven successful strategies to build the skills students need to thrive in a rapidly changing world. With the strategies she shares, her students didn't just survive COVID learning, they Thrived! The incredible performance of her eight an nine year students when faced with challenges prompted Victoria to write "Ask More Learn More, Creating a Culture of Curiosity," #1 on Amazon. Student driven inquiry based learning engages students reduces the demands on teachers and naturally results in organic indivialized instruction. Her program is based on the wisdom of her mentor in 1972; 1. Students will learn in spite of their teachers. 2. Students will not learn in spite of how good a teacher is. 3. You can take a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. You can offer a multitude of methods for students, but ultimately, whether they learn or don't learn, it is truly up to them. "I felt it odd that no one ever shared this with me in my education classes or when I was in school. I decided my students needed to know that they were really in the driver's seat. I told them, "I don't know what they don't know until you tell me what they don't know. I want to know what you don't know, so I can teach you what you want to know, but that requires you ask me questions." I began that first day by having them look at the homework they would do that night to discover what they didn't know how to do and ask questions so they could be successful. As time passed I demanded they not turn to others or the internet for support with the work from my class. If I was to be successful with them then I needed to know when I was unclear. They needed to know that there are many ways to teach a concept, so if one way doesn't work, we can try another. Failure merely meant they needed to try something knew.
