PLC in Print: Student Motivation
from www.masterteacher.com v. 47 issue n. 5"You can start the search for what will drive student motivation from the inside by looking for six key factors: Competence, meaning, purpose, satisfaction, respect, and leadership. When what students are learning offers three or more of these elements from the student's perspective, motivation to learn is rarely a problem. Our challenge is to help students make and maintain these connections and reap rewards through their learning.
The Master Teacher understands that how we approach the process and employ grades can have a powerful impact on how students view their learning and us. Our focus must be on what will support, nurture, motivate, and accurately capture the learning of our students. When we do, we serve our students and their thinking well"
