Motivation in the
Classroom:
9 Ideas from Dan Pink’s Drive
Slide 47
Slide 47 text
#1: Apply the 3-Part Type-I Test
1. Am I offering students AUTONOMY over the
when and how of this work?
2. Does this task promote MASTERY by
offering something novel and engaging (as
opposed to rote reformulation)?
3. Do my students understand the PURPOSE?
The “Big Picture” of this assignment in the
class?
Slide 48
Slide 48 text
#2: Have a “FedEx Day”
Overnight Delivery.
Slide 49
Slide 49 text
#3: Try DIY Report Cards
1. Students write down learning goals at the
beginning of the semester
2. Students write their own report cards and a
1-2 paragraph assessment of their progress
at the end
3. Then, show the teacher’s report card and
discuss how they are doing on their path
toward MASTERY
Slide 50
Slide 50 text
#4: Stop offering “If-Then” Rewards
IF THEN
NOW THAT
Slide 51
Slide 51 text
#5: Offer Praise...The Right Way
1. Praise effort and strategy, not intelligence
2. Make praise specific (no generalities)
3. Praise in private (no award ceremonies)
4. Offer praise only when there’s good reason
(be sincere)
Slide 52
Slide 52 text
#6: Help the see the “Big Picture”
Kids think: Why am I learning this? How is it
relevant to my world?
1. Reading
2. Writing
3. Arithmetic
4. Relevance
Slide 53
Slide 53 text
#7: Investigate Type-I Schools
1. Big Picture Learning
2. Sudbury Valley School
3. The Tinkering School
4. Puget Sound Community School
5. Montessori Schools
(Children have natural curiosity & innate
desire to learn)
Slide 54
Slide 54 text
#8: Learn from the “Unschoolers”
They promote autonomy by allowing
youngsters to decide what they learn and how
they learn it. They encourage mastery by
allowing children to spend as long as they’d like
and to go as deep as they desire on the topics
that interest them.
