What is a teacher in the 21st Century? The world we inhabit is changing at a startling rate. As educators, we are trying to develop learners who are capable of being adaptive and competitive contributors. This applies to their future as employees and employers, citizens and family members. This is my record of how I will develop my teaching through inquiry to meet these changes.

Learning In the Fast Lane chapter 7 - Student Motivation
Title of Book/Reading/Study Programme
Learning in the Fast Lane
Author
Suzy Pepper Rollins
Synopsis
This chapter is primarily about student motivation when they work. The central thesis is students need to see the VALUE of the work they are doing, and have the CONFIDENCE to engage with the task. Confidence comes through earlier chapters as tasks are scaffolded for success, Value comes through student agency and interest.
Motivation
Having students want to engage in their learning. We have about 90% - 95% of students who are engaged, and then another 10% who don't engage.
How will it help me? How has it helped me?
A reminder of the importance of developing relationships and setting high-value tasks that engage students in learning.
