Explanation:
Being a lifelong learner is one of the most important qualities we can model for children. Our children must know where to find accurate information, how to be discerning consumers of information, and strive to contribute credible information to their communities. Informed, educated individuals create a more tolerant, creative, open-minded environment. Education feeds growth, and a love of learning means that our students will be able to ask and answer questions as they arise throughout life.
Beyond individual learning, we must model being connected learners. We no longer learn just for ourselves, but with and for the community! We benefit from the knowledge of the group - learning, sharing, and contributing are all part of 21st century education. We must produce and share as much as we consume - it’s part of a give and take that benefits the whole for the greater good.
