Meredith Preston and Javier Martinez, two fifth-grade teachers, are talking in the teachers' lounge after school.
  My students are impossible, Meredith sighs. They don't do their homework, their parents won't answer the phone when I call, and most of them don't know their basic math facts.
  I think we should make them learn whether they want to or not, Javier responds. I think if we're good enough, we can get all of them to learn. Some will learn more than others, but we can get every one of them to learn more than they are now. I tell them, Don't try to slipsloppy work past me, because I'm just going to make you do it over.' It's surprising. Some of them are a lot sharper than we give them credit for.
  Javier's comments best illustrate which of the following variables from the model for promoting student motivation?
 
  a. Personal teaching efficacy
  b. Positive expectations
  c. Order and safety
  d. Task comprehension
