things we have accepted without question but which have no truth in our
lives...
The secret to learning new things is to be willing to unlearn—even if your behaviors previously brought success.
Sometimes the person from whom we have incorporated the limiting belief
truly was acting out of love for us, but they were the possessor of a
limiting belief. Their intention was for our best interest as they saw
it, but could offer no more than they were capable of perceiving. If
this limiting perception comes from an incontestable source of
support—parent, teacher, role model, or spouse—it becomes a
particularly complex structure of overcome. In order to free ourselves
from this limiting perception at the same time we are seeking to
redefine our abilities, we must also accept that our supporter is
fallible, that from even our allies may come limiting directives—even
though unintentionally.
Anything that takes you out of your head, your ego, out of thought,
will bring you to a place often referred to as your center. This place
of your truest definition of self existed before and beyond any
accepted limitations. It remains forever with you even if doubted and
never visited. This slate of your definition of self is never written
upon or marred by your experience. It is what you were in the beginning
and what you remain outside the illusion of collected belief.

For teachers/parents and all of us who want to change our perspective.
- We need to
unlearn the idea that we are the sole content experts in the classroom,
because we can now connect our kids to people who know far more than we
do about the material we’re teaching. - We need to unlearn the premise that we know more than our kids, because in many cases, they can now be our teachers as well.
- We need to unlearn the idea that learning itself is an event. In this day and age, it is a continual process.
- We
need to unlearn the strategy that collaborative work inside the
classroom is enough and understand that cooperating with students from
around the globe can teach relevant and powerful negotiation and
team-building skills. - We
need to unlearn the idea that every student needs to learn the same
content when really what they need to learn is how to self-direct their
own learning. - We need to unlearn the notion that our students don’t need to see and understand how we ourselves learn.
- We
need to unlearn our fear of putting ourselves and our students “out
there” for we’ve proven we can do it in safe, relevant and effective
ways. - We need to unlearn
the practice that teaches all students at the same pace. Is it any
wonder why so many of our students love to play online games where they
move forward at their own pace? - We
need to unlearn the idea that we can teach our students to be literate
in this world by continually blocking and filtering access to the sites
and experiences they need our help to navigate. - We
need to unlearn the premise that real change can happen just by
rethinking what happens inside the school walls and understand that
education is now a community undertaking on many different levels.

flavor changes each time you bring it to your lips. Given enough aging
the product is more fiction than fact–but what fact is not ripe for
