Academic Rigor and Student Engagement: A Perfect Match | Asia Society

What an interesting application of Dan Pink’s ideas from A Whole New Mind. Chris Livaccari outlines how to apply Dan Pink’s ideas in a Chinese language classroom.

Although I have always held the flexibility of Dan Pink’s ideas in the highest regard, I never could have imagined applying them in a Chinese language class.

If you would like to get straight to the details of Dan Pink, scroll down to the heading entitled “A Whole New Mind.”  There you will see how this teacher specifically applies Dan Pink’s six aptitudes to her language course.

What a great, engaging application of AWNM.  Every time I read a teacher’s application of right-brain skills, I learn something new.  I hope you take the time to get some ideas from this article.
