Not sure that it's as simple as that. It's not a one-way street is it? A sense of belonging allows you to risk talking in class. Putting your ideas out there & having them sensitively & generously received gives you a sense of belonging. Talk is target & strategy. They blur!

This Might Be The Best Video About Motivation That’s Available To Show To Students

same people: “My origin story. I tried inquiry learning for a few days and I couldn’t make it work. Now I’m a diehard believer in direct instruction.” “Are you having trouble with direct instruction? Take your time, go to an institute. It’s not easy to learn. Takes commitment.”

And if explicit instruction continues to gain more popularity and traction in the U.S., which it should and will because govts have a responsibility to close the achievement gaps caused by inquiry/discovery methods the last few decades, what will happen to her research? It’s DOA.

"Even in this past decade and a half, reliable descriptions of classroom lessons and surveys of teaching practices are tough to find. Sure, there are journalists who have gone into classrooms and reported what they saw.

I actually like Linda McMahon for Education Secretary. Given how scripted and artificial education has become, I can’t think of a better fit.

Great news for the wealth and prosperity of the United Kingdom, and the wonderful region of Aberdeen. The U.K. has started drilling in the North Sea, one of the greatest and most prosperous areas of OIL in the World. They should go FULL BLAST!!! This will make the U.K. very wealthy again. TAKE DOWN THE COSTLY AND RIDICULOUS WINDMILLS!
