018: Aligning our values with basic human needs in math class.

In this episode, we kick things off with a thought-provoking quote from Dan Meyer: "Students know what it feels like to have their education done to them rather than with them and they vastly prefer the latter." Let's dive into what this means and how it ties into the core human needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness in the classroom.We'll ask the big question: "Do our educational values align with these basic human needs?" By fostering autonomy, building competence, and nurturing relationships, we can transform learning into a more engaging and effective experience for students.
