What drives language learners?
We’re reflecting on learner motivation for a few weeks here. Bradley Baurain starts us off with thoughts on autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
Ownership of Teaching
As our conversation about learner ownership comes to a close, we have some questions for you. In particular, how do you take ownership of your teaching?
The Partnership
What hinders some students from taking ownership? Julie Prentice encourages us to imagine the challenge from their perspective and partner with them toward solutions.
Ownership of Behavior
Patrick Seifer gives us food for thought about ownership of behavior in our classrooms. How can we help students take responsibility for what they do (or don’t do)?
Who owns classroom conversations?

Melissa starts our new series with a bit of humor. Then, over the next few weeks, we’ll consider learner ownership from different perspectives, including the Master Teacher’s.
