Explorer Model

Submitted by joycetheriot on Tue, 07/20/2010 - 2:49pm.

A really good connection for utilization between the “Explorer” (in the model that Judith and I drew) and the other parts is conversation as Paul suggested.
Best learning can occur when the Explorer is first having an internal conversation (reflection) about the meaning s(he) has discovered. Also important is the safety felt in discussing those meanings with her guides (parents, teachers) without judgment. Equally necessary is peer (conversational) interactions about these ideas within a safe environment often constructed by the guides.
