I'm linking to the page because I don't know how to post the actual file. The podcast is two down on the page. The first key words mentioned in this audio file are relevant and technology. It is also mentioned that teachers become so focused on teaching to the standards that they fail to realize they aren't reaching kids in a way that is understood. These both directing relate to This We Believe principles in curriculum and in educators (as educators must be willing to learn about their students and how to approach them). This We Believe is directly addressed as motivating students is about creating a school environment that encourages learning, as well as having a challenging curriculum that interests students. These qualities are what these podcasts seek to address.
