“You Can’t Make Me Do It!”
How to Encourage Motivation from the Inside
Presented by Cheryl Franklin-Rohr
Picture children with 100% engagement, and eager learners– students so eager that they can’t wait to share their excitement in any format expected of them.
For any teacher or parent who has sat in a conference with that reluctant child, frustration is a typical reaction for all parties involved: teacher, parent and student. In a typical classroom, chances are there will be at least one child who is not totally motivated. This presentation will focus on intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation and the different perspectives of the key players (Sullo, 2007).
Factors that both help and hinder achieving the desired state will be discussed as well as practical strategies that can be put into place to encourage a positive change. Applying information on brain research (Jensen, 1998) as well as Carol Dweck’s recent book, Mindset, will give insight into how intrinsic motivation can be developed with learners.
