Such pursuits as WebQuests, individually initiated research projects, and student-selected learning approaches are just the beginning of lifelong learning, showing students how to structure and develop their own learning. Students also need to be taught to appraise the responses of those around them and adjust their behavior in an emotionally intelligent manner so that they can be productive and successful members of work teams. They need to be able to accept correction so that they can learn from both positive and negative input. Students taught from a curriculum geared toward lifelong learning are schooled in a variety of ways that enable them to learn from their environment and their experiences.
