Guideline 3 : Provide options for recruiting interest. 
  • optimize individual choice and autonomy eg. provide learners choice in the order they accomplish tasks). 
  • optimize relevance, value, and authenticity eg. provide home and community audiences for students’ work. 
  • •Minimize threats and distractions eg.  ensure respectful interactions and provide quiet spaces). 
I chose these guidelines because when students have control they can maximize their learning.  They are in the driver's seat, opening them up to learning above and beyond what we could ever imagine.

"Effective education of all students includes closely monitoring student progress, identifying student learning needs, and adjusting instruction accordingly. Regular and active participation in the classroom—not only solving problems and listening, but also discussing, explaining, reading, writing, representing, and presenting—is critical to each student’s success in mathematics."
