Hey group. Here is an article that Quinton tweeted last night about finding meaning in your work. For me, the most salient part of the article is here:

The skill mastery she described and demonstrated provided her with meaning, as did the way in which she incorporated this mastery into her identity as a helping professional. Knowing that she was capable of reliably producing a result that she cared about amplified Joan's experience of her work as meaningful. In other words, Joan's recipe for work meaning was self-efficacy mixed with concordance with her personal values, seasoned with connection to and feedback from the beneficiaries of her work.

The person observed found meaning because she was successful and her tasks were aligned to her personal value system. How do we do this in our classroom?
