Stages of Learning
The following stages have been identified as optimal in this unit. It should be noted
that the stages do not represent individual lessons. Rather, they are a series of stages over
one or more lessons and indicate the suggested steps in the development of the targeted
competencies and in the achievement of the stated objectives.
Strategy
Cooperative Learning is a successful teaching strategy in which small teams, each with
students of different levels of ability, work together to do a given task. Each member of a team
is responsible for helping each other finish the task, thus creating an atmosphere of
achievement.

ACTIVITY 5
Teacher Support Material- Practice and Application
Collaborative Learning
Direction: Answer the following questions after you read the selection entitled,
“Welcome to Holland”. Do it and discuss with your group to come up with the best
possible answers.
d. If you were the person in the selection, would it be alright with you to be in a place not
as you planned?
f. If you were the author, what title would you give the selection? Why?
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability - to try to help
people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel.
It's like this......
When you're going to have a baby, it's like planning a fabulous vacation trip - to Italy. You buy a
bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The Coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The
gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It's all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go.
Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, "Welcome to Holland."
"Holland?!?" you say. "What do you mean Holland?? I signed up for Italy! I'm supposed to be in Italy.
All my life I've dreamed of going to Italy."
But there's been a change in the flight plan. They've landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven't taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of
pestilence, famine and disease. It's just a different place.
So you must go out and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you
will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It's just a different place. It's slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you've been
there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around.... and you begin to notice that
Holland has windmills....and Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy... and they're all bragging about what a
wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say "Yes, that's where I was
supposed to go. That's what I had planned."
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away... because the loss of that dream is a very
very significant loss.
But... if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn't get to Italy, you may never be free to
enjoy the very special, the very lovely things ... about Holland.
