It helps develop opportunities for students to express their voices, co-create and design, and discover who they are as learners. The Habits of Mind are dispositions or thinking behaviors that are desirable attributes for learning and living productively in a complex world.

New book on motivation - Moving from systems of extrinsic motivation to supporting students’ intrinsic motivations Extrinsic motivation is the default motivation in schools right now. Motivate from without. Impose on others. Punishments are also forms of extrinsic motivation. Ditchie and Ryan - autonomy is the key intrinsic motivator. Is there ever a time that extrinsic motivation is worthwhile. We’ve taught them to think transactionally. Book - Drive by Daniel Pink - animated video Rote or Mechanical - extrinsic works in the short term. You can lose creativity if extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation comes from within. Self-motivation vs. Intrinsic motivators: 6 indicators: autonomy - need for power and control purpose - what we are doing has meaning competence - need to feel good at stuff belonging - connected to others curiosity - naturally interested in fun - playful, joy, energetic. Motivation is very complex. Set this up and incentivize it for them. How do we make this shift in education? Recognize that it is coming from a place of good intentions Signaling - we signal that the action is something distasteful because we have to incentivize it. Alfie Kohn on Oprah Kids who were paid stopped playing with the puzzles. Jethro’s TEDx Talk Stop trying to motivate kids. Tap into their intrinsic motivations Conflict in US history. 11 of 22 kids showed up on a Saturday morning, voluntarily. Ongoing assessing throughout the project.
