21ST CENTURY SKILLSStudents must be able to set personal learning goals,
self-check for understanding, access tools and resources for enhancing their understanding, and use what they have learned in real-world contexts. These skills are vital for success in a post-industrial world where it is more important to now access information and be a self-motivated learner than it is to memorize content and processes. Teachers must move beyond “teaching content” to teaching students how to learn – that is, find and evaluate content, connect with prior knowledge, and use that knowledge to solve authentic problems.
Robert Marzano, 2012

READING ALL TEXTS“The analysis of reader motivation used in
the instructional episodes for the influential and noninfluential teachers revealed distintinctly different patterns. …influential teachers relied on internal reader motivation during 89 percent (25 of 28) of the instructional episodes and used external motivation in only 11 percent (3 of 28) of their episodes.” (1994, Theoretical Models and Processes of Reading p. 290)
