#2: Buy-In
• Meaning trumps Sense
• All learning is GOAL DIRECTED
“Somewhere along the way, many students get lost…they shut off their natural learning instincts…instead they try hard to do what they were told to do- they study, they pass tests, and eventually their love of learning is gone….a real goal has been replaced by pleasing the teacher, or getting a good grade.”
(Teaching Minds- pg. 1)
