"You can't always get what you want"—but you can. Much of what we hear about ourselves and the world..."No pain, no gain"; "It's a dog-eat-dog world"; "Either you got it or you don't"—isn't true when we understand our nature and how to operate to reach our maximum potential. But how many of us understand our own design specs? Refrigerators come with instruction manuals—why not people? Here at last is the manual that should have come with you at birth. And it turns out that life is a lot easier than we've been taught. Living in alignment with your true nature—the path of least resistance—brings you all the joy, abundance and health your Manufacturer intended you to have! When a golfer has trouble with a swing, it's not because she doesn't deserve to play golf, or golf hates her, or she'll never be any good at golf, or anything like that. It's simply that her swing (behavior) is not yet in alignment with her biodynamics for that swing. With a little coaching, she can align with her body's nature and the stroke becomes easy, even effortless. The same alignment to effortlessness can happen in every area of your life! Use the tools and techniques in this book to help you align with natural, physical, and spiritual laws for joy, purpose, and vitality while living your dreams.
High levels of engagement—it’s not an impossible dream. But to attain it we need to focus on what galvanizes learning, and ensure we are offering the tools and mindsets with which students can lean in. In this playbook, an ace team of educators give us the goods to guide self-starting learners. Nine modules show us how to: Cohere standards, success criteria, tasks, and goals so students can travel clear pathways Offer tools that allow learners to recognize the gap between their current performance and the expected performance, and select strategies to close that gap Talk with students about engagement as a continuum, and that there are actions they can take to heighten their buy-in to any endeavor Stress-test our lesson plans to ensure students can discuss, debate, create and problem-solve around highly relevant content Use lots of low-stakes assessment and feedback routines to develop effective collaboration that doesn’t depend on us. Our job as teachers is to guide learning experiences that build knowledge and self-efficacy. But from there, we need to stay on the sidelines and let students play. Only then will they develop the muscle to persevere, the strategic actions to excel, and the confidence to make our curriculum the springboard of their own dreams and goals.
