Final Post


I have to agree with Stasia, Johnny, and Samantha about the beginning of the book. I didn’t like it and as I read the research part of the text it didn’t make much sense, especially because it talked about businesses which I don’t have background knowledge on. Part two of the text is when I started getting interested into the book. When it talked about autonomy, mastery, and purpose it made it clearer to me how the book tiles into education and how we can use it as a reference for the future.

The last section we read was interesting because not only does it give ideas for the classroom but also for parents to use. Some of the ideas it mentioned will be great to incorporate in the classroom, because the ideas give the students autonomy, mastery, and a purpose. I liked the idea on how to praise students so it won’t become an “if then” task. I think this is important because things seem to turn into “if then” task even if that’s not our intention.
