Berger “stages of mind”
Berger “stages of mind” hierarchy (2015) provides a context for evaluating our professional development:
The ‘sovereign mind’ - "it's all about me and what I need"
The ‘socialized mind’ - "tell me what to do, and I will do my best to do it"
The ‘self-authored mind’ - "I'll listen to all points of view, I will then form my own opinion and decide on what actions I would like to take, based on my own platform of beliefs that are true to me and then discuss this with others and co-construct"

It did show that when students are passionate with their learning they are engaged. 'Proficient language skills are not acquired if they aren't used.' Lighting the Literacy Fire - Jill Eggleton
