Studies have found that when leaders communicate openly and clearly about organizational goals and challenges, people are more likely to feel connected to the vision and motivated to contribute (Men, 2014). When leaders are transparent, they encourage accountability across the board. Lazzara, E. & Salas, E. Schaubroeck, J.,

Pocket Points was founded in 2014 by two college students who noticed a disturbing trend among their classmates in that too many kids were spending class glued to their phones, ignoring their professors' best attempts to teach them. No matter how well we plan or work to develop a positive school culture, off-task behavior still occurs.

The problem is that the majority of educators in 2014 still feel this way. When this happens we make excuses not to do something and in education we resort to blocking, banning, or pretending something doesn''t exist. This is how I saw social media and mobile technology back in 2009.

Unfortunately this has now become reality for our youngest students in 2014 and the near future in the name of education reform. I can''t even begin to imagine what my life would have been then or become today if these experiences had been ripped from me. Education reform is destroying childhood as we know it at both home and school.

Teachers who are autonomy supportive “promote autonomy offer their students choices, give them informative feedback and allow them the space to decide for themselves how they want to learn (Hofferber, Eckes & Wilde, 2014, p.178).
