On Intrinsically Motivating Students
GUEST COLUMN | by Jen Lilienstein
In late February, EdWeek’s Susan Sandler wrote about Personalization 3.0, or “a hybrid approach of humanity and technology…that uses technology to enhance teacher-student relationships, not replace them.”
Sandler references Theodore R. Sizer’s work (late founder of the Coalition of Essential Schools) who emphasized that, for students to succeed, they must be personally known at school and have strong relationships with the people there.
This is a nice writeup which puts the limelight on a teacher's emotional state; most of the T&L literature is too much focused on the learners!
