I think teachers are implementing EFF when students are asked for specifics that they need, how they think they're going to learn this, and have by having them take responsibility for working towards these specifics. . In a GED class for instance, if their goal is pass the math part : and the student expects YOU to sit there and show him/her everything to the exclusion of others, this is not taking Responsibility for Learning. I think a teacher can only keep some of the standards in mind (like Cooperate With Others) and use these standards in the classroom to facilitate learning. That is, not teach EFF directly. A class can also set up their own rules, decide on how much homework, help with attendance and grading papers etc. all in the EFF mode. and they can be made aware of why they are learning this "stuff" and how it is going to help them in the real world.
