I thought about entitling this podcast episode It's All About Invitational Learning but thought the current title was more interesting. It does, however, get at a very important point. In an earlier age, students were told what to do and they were expected to follow instructions. Learning didn't always occur but what did occur was due to the internal motivation of the students and their innate abilities. Today, our schools are comprised of a very heterogenous body of students and not all of them are motivated to learn. But they need to learn if they are going to survive and thrive in the modern world. We need to learn how to invite our students to undertake a learning journey and to sustain that journey through all their years of school. Any one teacher can send negative vibes that will turn a student off of learning. It is all about being invitational all the time.
