I like many things about the COVA book, but the two main reasons I enjoyed the book are 1. That Dr. Harapnuik gives real-life examples and uses his family 2. He shares his knowledge with us. Now I see things differently and looking forward to implementing COVA in my classroom.

Choice, Ownership and Voice through Authentic Learning
Your blog was precise and concise. Building relationships with our students is essential in bridging the school-home connection. Sharing about one’s own family gives students that in-depth look into their teacher. They feel they know them on a personal level. And we know that if students like their teachers, they will work harder to please that teacher, thus engaging them in their learning. Learning through real-world examples gives meaning to the why of our learning and students start to make meaning through authentic learning. They internalize that knowledge!
