How complicated is the Let Me Learn process (R)?

You will be pleased to know that the Let Me Learn concepts and system are not complicated. If anything, they are very practical and easy to comprehend. In most cases, anyone who attends a Let Me Learn awareness workshop or presentation feels like they have finally discovered a more meaningful way to understand themselves as learners--and those around them.

I?m intrigued by what I?ve read about Let Me Learn, but I?m not sure what my next step should be.

Most people either call our main offices (856 358-0039) or contact us online.  In this way, we can answer more specific questions and recommend a variety of options for becoming better acquainted with the process and its impact.

Can you give an example of how Let Me Learn has had a positive impact on college students?

The Let Me Learn process (R) has been implemented in many two-year and four-year colleges and in graduate education university programs for the benefit of both students and faculty. By participating in brief workshops and reviewing LML materials, college students have developed personal strategies to absorb course content and meet instructor expectations. When asked about LML, a student at Cumberland County College in New Jersey responded, "It helped me understand my own learning. Instead of 'fighting' the material, I embraced it according to my own learning connections, and that helped me use my time effectively."

I?m an administrator in an urban school district. We need to go beyond traditional instructional strategies to help our children succeed. Does Let Me Learn offer any type of non-traditional instructional support?

Yes, the Let Me Learn process is very well-suited to offering non-traditional support to urban school children. In fact, at the heart of the Let Me Learn process (R) is the awareness that traditional approaches are failing to reach millions of students with high learning potential who don?t fit into the cookie-cutter classroom molds.

What does the Learning Connections Inventory test?

The Learning Connections Inventory (LCI) tests nothing. Instead, it captures the degree to which each learner uses each of the four learning patterns: sequence, precision, technical reasoning, and confluence. The LCI measures the degree to which each learner avoids, uses as needed, or uses first each of the these patterns.

Rather than labeling the learning as one type or another, the LCI reports the combination of the individual?s interactive use of each of the four learning processes.

Can Let Me Learn address issues related to student assessments in the elementary or secondary classroom? If so, how?

At its crux, Let Me Learn is about students and teachers recognizing their learning patterns and using this understanding to create more effective learning and teaching. As such, students in a Let Me Learn classroom are better prepared to test successfully. Teachers can create flexible assessment tools that enable students whose natural tendency is to first use technical, precise, sequential, or confluent learning to demonstrate their mastery of the material. More important, perhaps, by helping students develop ways to identify situations that call for the learning patterns that do not come naturally to them, and use those patterns without fear or aversion, the Let Me Learn advanced learning system enables students to face the requirements of what they are being asked to do with confidence.

Can the Let Me Learn process (R) help teachers meet school district or state learning standards?

Yes. Most standards are content-based, and the "intentional" LML learner is better prepared to absorb information based on an active awareness of his or her learning patterns. More specifically, typical standards can be analyzed in terms of the four LML learning patterns, and the facility with all four that LML enables can help students meet the standards more effectively. A study of the New Jersey Core Content Curriculum illustrates this. In addition, the LML approach can facilitate character education. The Minnesota-based Search Institute has created a framework of 40 developmental assets for healthy child development, and the linked chart shows that the LML classroom is fertile soil for their growth.
