Have you seen any strategies/ideas in the research that have been effective in guiding certain students who appear not to care so that they begin to take ownership and join in the "WANTING LEARNING" as we put this effort in?

The main message is that teachers feel they are doing the major work (although I note they are the only ones paid to do work in a class!). I would advocate for ‘student assessment capabilities’ and we recently released a book about this. This aims to put the onus on students to be more aware of their progress, current status, and future direction; to interpret the assessment information to help better ‘where to next’ – but it does put pressure on teachers to teach the students how to do this – so then it becomes more of a partnership. Yes, it is the ownership – a powerful way is to have a class meeting about this – relay the teacher’s concerns, how they would improve the system, what is in it for them to do well and grow – I bet they have strong views as they are certainly having strong behaviours” (John Hattie, personal communication, March 23, 2018).
