Provide rationales and support instead of using controlling language/actions
Video Examples
(You do NOT need to watch all videos! Choose the ones that you are interested in/have time for)
For each video, consider:
What is the teacher doing that aligns with your current understanding of this principle? (These can go in the "Examples" box of your Frayer model)
What would it look like if the teacher was NOT enacting this Autonomy principle in the video? In other words, what are the less autonomy-supportive/more controlling alternatives that the teacher could have chosen instead when facilitating this activity? (These can go in the "Non-Examples" box of your Frayer model)
