3. Motivation & Mindset – AMP It Up!
Autonomy Mastery Purpose
Relatedness / Relationships – social interaction with peers and teacher
Autonomy – ability to move at own pace and choose how to learn, how to demonstrate mastery
Mastery – being challenged the right amount and allowed to fail, redo; recognizing achievement
Purpose – relevance to student and value outside of learning for learning sake

If engaged, motivated learners is not enough…
Automation  More time
