Army of Achievers

Achievement vs. Learning
Can we achieve without learning?
Geoff told about his phd test writing class, they learned how to take tests and they had to get at least a B on every test across campus. They were achieving on the tests even though they were not learning the material 
I think if we focus on learning first 
and then on achievement second we can accomplish both 
In order to actually learn we need to have the right motivations 
I will focus on learning and growing in each of my classes 
and if I do that I will naturally be achieving 
I will promote learning to my students
for example a creative project to spark curiosity and desire 
"creativity is intelligence having fun." -Albert Einstein 
and then assess them 
the evaluation could be based on their learning and achievement 

evaluation - systematic determination of merit worth and significance of someone or something

assessment - documentation in measurable terms, knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs
