Soung Bae, MA Shades of Experience by Daniel Draper Teacher of Students with EBD GWU Graduate Student Alfred Adler speaks in detail about past experiences forming the basis of human behavior. He theorizes that we act according to our past experiences. Through the generalization of these experiences we are able to act upon presenting life situations. Decisions can only be made by drawing upon the knowledge we have knowledge gained from experience.
Humans enter new situations with the knowledge of all past experiences in tow.
This is certainly true of our students. Each day they, and we too, look through the tinted glasses of our past experiences. However, the shades vary in the degree to which they are tinted. I have numerous students who wear very dark glasses. They do not see life to the full degree that others may.
