1 Start with a vision

Before you ask students to set their own learning goals and interests, help them create a vision of what they want to achieve and why. This can be done through activities such as brainstorming, journaling, or creating vision boards. A vision can help students identify their strengths, passions, and values, as well as their challenges, gaps, and areas for improvement. It can also inspire them to take action and monitor their progress.

Teaching is an art and it is not a child's play. It requires passion to teach students. Having mere knowledge to impart is not enough. What is needed is the ability to understand the role of the teacher, the styles of teaching, teaching methodologies and strategies, correct usage of evaluation techniques, the psychology of the students, and the ability to motivate the students.

2 Use SMART goals

Once students have a vision, help them break it down into specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. SMART goals can help students focus on what they want to learn, how they will learn it, and how they will know if they have learned it. They can also help students track their achievements and celebrate their successes. You can use tools such as rubrics, checklists, or portfolios to help students set and review their SMART goals.

3 Provide choice and voice

One of the key elements of self-directed learning is giving students choice and voice in their learning. This means allowing them to choose topics, activities, resources, and formats that suit their interests, preferences, and learning styles. It also means encouraging them to express their opinions, questions, and feedback throughout the learning process. You can provide choice and voice by using strategies such as menus, stations, projects, or inquiry-based learning.

4 Support and scaffold

While self-directed learning requires students to take more responsibility and initiative, it does not mean that they are left alone to figure things out. As a teacher, you still need to provide support and scaffold to guide and facilitate their learning. This can include modeling, coaching, questioning, feedback, or differentiation. You can also use strategies such as peer tutoring, cooperative learning, or mentoring to create a supportive learning community.

5 Reflect and revise

The final step in self-directed learning is to reflect and revise. This means asking students to evaluate their learning process and outcomes, as well as their strengths and areas for improvement. It also means helping them adjust their goals and strategies based on their reflections and feedback. You can use strategies such as self-assessment, peer assessment, or conferences to promote reflection and revision.
