LEARNING RULES! Posters to guide learning in the classroom, home or therapy!

OT is fun!
OT is work!
OT can be frustrating!
OT is learning!
OT is rewarding!

Kids who participate in occupational therapy sessions may have a range of feelings.  They may feel all of the above in one session! 

Kids come to OT because they need help.  They want or need to learn something (because sometimes mum, dad or a teacher want them to learn something)!

Learning can be tough especially when mistakes are involved. 

I wanted to encourage the kids who see me for OT with some "learning rules"!  I shared these on social media last week and had a great response!

These rules are so much more than "OT rules"!  They are a learning contract between myself and the kids that I see.  We will do these things together.

We will do our best.
We will be ready to learn.
We will be respectful to each other.
We will work hard.
We will try new things.
We will follow directions (or give them in a way that takes into account their learning style).
We will ask questions (including asking for help).
We will have FUN!
We will believe in ourselves.
We will make mistakes (because that's how we learn)!

These "learning"  rules are suitable for the classroom, home, therapy clinic .... for learning in life! 

We are all life long learners and these posters may motivate you as the teacher, therapist or parent!

I have now made these posters available in the Your Kids OT shop.  OT rules remains a FREE printable.  You can also obtain the classroom and generic learning versions in the shop.

What is your favourite "rule" for learning??  How do you motivate your kids to learn?
