Motivation

I thought the boys did a really good job presenting the information to us today. I think the activities were engaging but I was little unsure about how the types of teacher we were had to deal with how we motivate students. Now that I think about it though, if I’m an authoritative teacher then I’m not going to use a whole lot of positive extrinsic motivation. Another thing is depending on what kind of teacher I am I may not use the “right” kind of motivation. I may think that it is good motivation because the kids are actually showing some improvement in their work but I shouldn’t use things like “grades” or movies or “no class work time”. So, now I realize that what type of teacher you are plays a HUGE role on how you motivate your students.
