Chapter 5

I really liked how Pink defined mastery, “the desire to get better and better at something that matters.”  I think these alone are powerful words and have great meaning.  I also liked how he said motivation 3.0 seeks engagement and only engagement can produce mastery.  I think for us being future educators these words should be something to live by.  The desire to get better and better at something is something to me that you care a lot about and for all of us that would be teaching.  I think desire is just a great word for defining mastery.  Motivation 3.0 says you have to be engaged to produce mastery.  I think this is yet another thing we should live by.  Every day in one of our education classes we talk about how we are going to engage students and spark their attention.  Engagement should not only be for students, but for teachers as well.  We need to be heavily engaged in the changing trends, new learning tactics, and ways to reach out for top student performance.
