Two teachers have worked hard to incorporate Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, giving students multiple ways of accessing the content and showing their understanding: attending a live Zoom presentation, watching the recording, reading or listening to an online article, viewing a documentary, reading a textbook, etc. Note the difference in tone as these teachers present the assignment to students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Teacher A: \u201cOK, everyone. I\u2019ve got several choices for you to learn about how geography affects where people decide to live and the way they live. I expect you to choose at least two different resources to explore for me, and I want you to also pick one activity to try. To get full credit on the assessment, you will need to cite the resources you used.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Teacher B: \u201cOK, everyone. You have several choices for how you get to learn about how geography affects where people decide to live and the way they live. Don\u2019t forget to use at least two different resources, and then pick an activity to try. You can do more than one if you want! Remember to cite resources to give credit to other authors and organizations and boost the credibility of your work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first teacher\u2019s tone was compliance-oriented and used teacher-centric language \u2013 I want\u2026 I expect\u2026 I\u2019ve got\u2026 \u2013 and used extrinsic motivation. The second teacher offered invitations and suggestions and spoke in the second person. Their language conveyed whether or not they expected students to do the assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Novak and Anderson suggest that teachers make an audiotape or record a video of them giving directions to students to focus on maximizing positive, intrinsically oriented instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Your next challenge is\u2026 (versus I expect you all to\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; What\u2019s a goal you have\u2026 (versus I want you to\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Here are three things to try as you\u2026 (versus Here are three things you need to do\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; You have several choices to consider\u2026 (versus I\u2019ve created some choices for you\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Here\u2019s how to do high-quality work\u2026 (versus Here\u2019s how to get a good grade).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow to Choose Words That Motivate Students During Online Learning\u201d by Katie Novak and Mike Anderson \u201cHow to Choose Words That Motivate Students During Online Learning\u201d by Katie Novak and Mike Anderson in Edutopia, September 15, 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staff Meeting &#8211; Wednesday 9\/30 2:30-3:30 &#8211; WebEx &#8211; I will do a webex from my office.
