Seven Laws of the Learner
In the Seven Laws of the Learner, Bruce Wilkinson (1992) offers the following learner maxims:
- Teachers are responsible for causing students to learn.
- Teachers will stand accountable for their influence.
- Teachers are responsible because they control subject, style, and speaker.
- Teachers should judge their success by the success of their students.
- Teachers impart more by their character and commitment than by their communication.
- Teachers exist to serve the students.
- Teachers who practice the Laws of the Learner and Teacher can become master teachers.
