A few weeks ago I wrote about the “3 Un’s”. Lee Crockett’s concept that he presented at the Linked Learning Conference. His presentation was so powerful, I continue to draw on it. He illustrated, quite simply, that the change needed in education today was limited by people for three very real reasons: Unaware, Unwilling, or Unable. With that concept firmly planted in my head (or cabeza as I prefer), I thought about the late motivational speaker Zig Ziglar and his redesign of the phrase “I can”. His point was that if we really want to do something we have to move beyond “I can” and say “When can I”. So my question today is, are we asking the same of our students? Can we get our students to ask themselves, “When can I move beyond being unaware, unwilling, or unable?” It’s always question of motivation. Have a majestic weekend and Let’s Go Pups!
