It was how I was raised by not only my parents, but society as a whole. I was paid for coloring with children (a task I very much enjoy), I was given a grade for building a boat out of cardboard and trying to float in a pool with it, and I&#8217;m often paid for hanging out with my cousins, even though we just eat dinner and watch movies. Would I do these things without the prospect of getting something out of it in return? I don&#8217;t know for sure, but Daniel Pink says otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Watch the TED Talk below to get a quick summary of Dan Pink&#8217;s &#8220;DRiVE&#8221; and how the world understands motivation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dan Pink: The puzzle of motivation\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.ted.com\/talks\/dan_pink_the_puzzle_of_motivation\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Shifting the Motivation in Your Classroom<\/h2>\n<p>In the TED Talk above, Dan Pink, author of &#8220;DRiVE: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us,&#8221; explains that when creative and critical thinking is involved, supplying humans with reward actually hinders the effectiveness and success of people. Below are a few examples of how to shift from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation in your classroom.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Encourage students to pick the topics that will be focused on in class\n<ul>\n<li>When students pick the topics they&#8217;re going to learn about, it encourages them to discover what they&#8217;re truly interested in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Use positive feedback and praise to fuel their motivation\n<ul>\n<li>Instead of using just grades, use feedback to positively encourage their learning while still evaluating their work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Instead of giving students harsh deadlines and strict rules for completing a project, give them a due date but allow them to choose how they want to complete the work\n<ul>\n<li>Autonomy allows your students to show how they&#8217;re creative whether thats through words, paintings, technology, music etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>ONLY use &#8220;carrots and sticks&#8221; or extrinsic motivators in your classroom when doing repetitive, simple tasks<\/li>\n<li>Put passion and heart and creativity into your teaching and be excited when you teach it!\n<ul>\n<li>If your students see that you give your all and go above and beyond for no reward, they&#8217;ll be more interested into what you&#8217;re teaching and they&#8217;ll be excited to do the same<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClaireCreight10\/status\/1045508529933766656<\/p>\n<p>What motivates you to get up out of your bed every morning and go to work or school?\u00a0For me, I get up to earn my degree in education because the look on a student&#8217;s face when you&#8217;re explaining a concept, a definition, or an idea to them and it finally clicks is truly heartwarming and priceless.<\/p>\n<p>So tell me, what DRiVEs you?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"_u3 _45 _y7 _4h alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/564x\/55\/cd\/58\/55cd5889a637c1a4bd95e51c7ec7d330.jpg?resize=336%2C381&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Go for it.
