Is learning a learned behaviour?

Students and staff at Yorkdale Central School had an opportunity last week to see and participate in a presentation by Andre Genthon, which he calls 鈥淭he Canada Goal.鈥�

For elementary students, 鈥渢he main approach is to draw close attention to key words that relate to the healthy development of an individual as they grow,鈥� Genthon says.

He does that by creating a fun and energetic event that uses audio-visual technology and games to reinforce learning behaviours.

鈥淭eaching learners how to learn is a critical pillar to equip them with the tools to make the most of their day(s),鈥� his website states. 鈥淗owever, it appears that the desire is equally important if not more of a significant factor at the root of one鈥檚 ability to learn. Therefore, another main approach within The Canada Goal is to draw closer attention to self-awareness, character development, success and self-discipline.鈥�

Yorkdale vice principal Noel Budz said it was a valuable presentation.

鈥淲e鈥檙e always focussing on self-discipline and focus,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 usually the difference in people who succeed in achieving their goals. That鈥檚 what [Andre鈥檚] entire presentation was about. It was very good.鈥�

Genthon currently tours western Canada with a goal to expand across the country in the future.
