“A teacher is someone who leads.”

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

Real learning occurs when students:
- try to produce something consequential
- see the purpose in what they're doing
- have some choice about what they learn
- get regular feedback
- are part of a community that offers support & demands high standards.
