Supporting the Three Needs
Captions available
The idea
Teachers support autonomy with choices for all students, competence with challenging but achievable tasks and prompt feedback, and relatedness with mutually supportive group work, such as the jigsaw classroom.
In practice
A teacher who says "we" supports relatedness; offering every student choices supports autonomy.
Where people slip
Too many choices frustrate, and whether choice improves learning or only satisfaction is unsettled.
