Learner Quotations

I reached a point where I'd watched enough directors do the job that I felt I understood it. And it's not that I'm a slow learner and it took me this long; I also was enjoying writing, and I still enjoy writing - I get tremendous satisfaction out of the writing end of it.

Nobody can say with a straight face that tuition-tax credits are actually a response to the court's orders in Flores. That's somebody else's political agenda. It's not going to help these kids. I'm not aware of any private school that has English-language learner programs in place anyway.

Obviously, 15-year-olds seeking learner permits account for a large number of the people who come to the (driver's license) stations each day. If we can develop an effective way to test many at once, it will greatly impact the number of people in line overall. At this time, this is just a pilot project, but results of the initial round of testing are encouraging.

Mike?s always been one of our most versatile players. He?s a smart player. He?s been in a number of different situations and handles them all well. We have a lot of confidence in him whenever he?s on the field. He?s a fast learner and he picks up things quickly.

He made huge strides this year. His footwork came a long way. His sense of a team game came a long way. You can play in the park all day long and not think about defensive positioning or offensive spacing. All that stuff was introduced to Will for the first time this year and I thought he did a phenomenal job of grasping those concepts. He's quick learner and that really speaks volumes for him.

When Ron Howard does 'Rush,' he has to learn and steep himself in F1 culture and European racing culture, and that's part of the fun of the gig. You learn to learn. Your real skill as a director is being a learner and an observer. You're constantly learning another thing in context.

Common experience also tells us that in teaching we rely on an intellectual effort of the learner for recognizing that which we are conveying to him.

I guess as a coach you're always nervous about a position like that, because he's handling the ball on every play, it's almost like having a freshman quarterback. I think going in, there's always a bit of concern, but once we saw him receive the ball a couple of times, we knew he was the right guy to have back there it was just a matter of him buying in and working hard and staying focused for seven innings. He's a quick learner ... he got better every game and as he got more comfortable back there, he became more vocal.

If you are a certain kind of hands-on learner and have been in a writers room and know how scripts get made, and you know what pre-production is, then mostly it's making sure the actors get what they need, and you are providing creative oversight while allowing room for everyone else to own the material, too.

The beauty of online learning is that it serves the needs of a wide variety of students. For the adult learner with a full-time job, it allows access to a classroom when they are on the road, or after they have put the kids to bed.

It wasn't easy at first. I'm more of a kinetic learner - I tend to remember the part as I move through it. It does work well with this show, however.
