Hello everyone!

I was wondering if there were any other teachers on the board. I think that working with students, and guiding other people's talents, puts us in a unique position with SOGR. Would anyone else be interested in discussing how the larger principles of SOGR can be applied and adapted to the classroom/curriculum?

Thanks!

I am a teacher, though not at a school. And, I agree, incorporating the basic principles of SoGR would do good. Esp. with all the nonsense kids are learning today. Esp. all these LIMITS. ARG. NOTHING annoys me more than all these limits that are taught, and enforced.

However, I think not all my students would be receptive to the principles of SoGR. I incorporate what I could.

I've been a student of mental techniques, such as Superlearning and even martial arts, and I started sharing this knowledge with some students, apart from what I teach regularly (I am a teacher of canine veterinary medicine and surgery). Some principles in SoGR are found also in some systems I studied.

I would refer the site to those I think would not be offended by such writing.

I used to be a teacher and left teaching because frankly, I found it boring. However, had there been more alternative subjects, including SOGR, I'd probably still be teaching! But I don't think I'd like to see SOGR in a curriculum set up as I feel it would become subject to rules, requirements and assessment.

But I do agree that young people would benefit from doing such a course as this. I wonder if any of the parents and grandparents on this forum would care to comment on how they approach SOGR with their kids, if at all?

Hi Everyone!

I teach piano and theory and I think the original question was, how can the principals of SOGR be "applied" in the teaching situation.

I found this interesting, because as soon as one person read something a little different, the topic shifted. TRUTH ... Perception ... see where I'm going with this?

Anyway, I feel the principals of SOGR affect my teaching a great deal. Situations I might have called "bad", I now try to find some good in; find what I can learn from them. Because of this, I am showing students that their inability to grasp a technique right off isn't "bad", it simply shows us where we need to work and gives us a place to start. If they didn't have any trouble spots, they wouldn't need ME, right?!

I find myself being more grateful for my students and the opportunity to teach them how to play and write music. I think that gratitude must show itself in my teaching.

Are you thinking of organizing a teacher's Mastermind Group? If you are, let me encourage you to do so. I organized a Mastermind Group and am now working with the most wonderful group of people. I might even be so bold as to say that it is the single most important "tool" that Rebecca has offered us in this course. Use it and you will never regret it.

Gratefully

Superlearning eh? Interesting. I've studied that quite thoroughly. You might be interested in this: http://www.proself.com/

I'm a teacher of technical communication at a community college here in Toronto. As SOGR becomes more integrated into my life, I hope my teaching improves as a result.

But wouldn't it be great to be able to teach SOGR to the people who really need it? If interested and motivated students were introduced to the principles in SOGR, think how much more successful they could be!!

I only came across SOGR later in my life. If I'd had this information as a 20 year old -- WOW!!

Rebecca, is there any reason why a person couldn't start a local workshop on SOGR?

Thank you all for responding!

Donna, I was definitely thinking along the same lines--specific principles that we could apply, rather than the whole shebang.

If anyone would be interested in reflecting some more on how SOGR could impact the way you teach, let me know and we can take this into a private discussion. Gratitude, forming clear mental images, expecting success, more to all and less to none--these are all very powerful concepts that can be taught independently of getting rich and enhance any subject area.

You guys are great! Thanks!

Beth, the only advice I have to offer is from my own experience. Before starting to offer workshops, classes, etc. on this, I STRONGLY encourage you (all the "yous") to use these principles in your own life for a good long while first. In other words, experiment and PROVE it for yourself.

Otherwise you won't be able to answer the questions you'll get and you won't have any real proof.

I worked with this information for about a year and a half before I felt ready to share it, and then it was just in a discussion group -- not setting myself up as any kind of expert. In fact, I still feel pretty much the same way -- that I'm just someone who's gone on ahead and scouted out the territory, bringing back what I've discovered and SEEN FOR MYSELF.

That's where my confidence and passion come from -- the proof I've experienced and continue to experience in my own life.

I think that's really a kind of nice, natural progression. Prove it, then share it freely (at no charge) in a discussion-type setting. After getting some experience in that, you'll know what to do.

Many blessings, and, of course--
EXPECT Success!
Rebecca

Interesting. Thanks, Aqui. It sure is another approach worth considering. It does overlap with NLP, even the "trigger" of Silva mind control, autogenics and similar disciplines. It is a method that could help in SoGR, too, when we find ourselves going into old habits of thought.
