1. Set Clear Goals Together
Work with your learner to define short-term and long-term goals.
Make sure goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
Revisit and adjust goals regularly to keep them aligned with progress.
2. Celebrate Small Wins
Acknowledge even minor achievements—they build momentum.
Use positive reinforcement to highlight progress.
Encourage learners to record their milestones in their Learning Project.
3. Provide Regular Feedback
Give feedback that is specific and actionable.
Balance constructive suggestions with encouragement.
Tie feedback to their personal goals to keep it meaningful.
4. Keep Learning Relevant
Connect lessons to the learner’s real-life interests or challenges.
Use examples and activities that feel meaningful to them.
Encourage them to bring personal projects or questions into sessions.
5. Support Resilience
Remind learners that progress isn’t always linear—setbacks are part of the process.
Share strategies for overcoming challenges and staying consistent.
Encourage reflection on how far they’ve come, not just how far they have to go.
💡 Tip: A motivated learner is an active learner—your role is to keep the spark alive, even when progress feels slow.
