    A1 In my experience, success is the most powerful motivator followed by relevance and respectful tasks for learners. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Nov 29 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 - Our Learners are #motivated to experience 'late learning' as we all learn using different timetables. #sblchat

    A1 - Design authentic, relevant learning experiences and students will be motivated as they will see how the learning relates to their lives. #sblchat
  • Erik_Youngman Nov 29 @ 9:09 PM EST

    A2 - We've found extrinsic motivation to have little to no benefit in lifelong learning, application, and retention. #Learn2Learn #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Nov 29 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2 Minimally if at all. The students that are most motivated by extrinsic factors tend to be the highest achievers. They are not the students that need help with motivation! #sblchat

  • EGPrinciPaul Nov 29 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: We too often decry the lack of intrinsic motivation in our students, yet turn first to extrinsic motivators as the solution to unmotivated students. Probably not gonna work. #sblchat
  • Erik_Youngman Nov 29 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2 Intrinsic motivation can have a more profound impact by fostering a #growthmindset for students so they learn from mistakes, learn from others and persist during a quest for continuous improvement. #SBLchat
  • kirk_humphreys Nov 29 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: Extrinsic motivation may work in the short term but in the end the focus should always be on the learning. When students take control and get involved in their learning, they take control and it becomes intrinsic. #sblchat
  • ehaan308 Nov 29 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 - Genuine praise for effort and achievement are good extrinsic motivation tools. Positive feedback is pretty much universally welcomed and can serve as a good motivator. But students know when they are being patronized, so the praise has to be genuine. #sblchat
  • j_ozbolt Nov 29 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 Mostly no for the overall learning. But I do think there is a time and a place for it especially for some student who have only known extrinsic motivation as you try and increase their intrinsic motivation. ##sblchat

  • OranTkatchov Nov 29 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: Depending on the child, yes, extrinsic motivation does have a role. The problem occurs when the teacher relies on extrinsic motivation and does not wean it away to introduce intrinsic motivation #sblchat
  • EGHSPrincipalRI Nov 29 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2 Unfortunately as currently constituted, yes. Can't punish kids for playing game adults created & implemented for years. Ultimately if we want to create schools that are focused on students' learning and futures, then no. We can and must do better than carrots & sticks #sblchat

    A2 Extrinsic motivation at its core is hollow and unmeaningful. In the same breath, sometimes extrinsic motivation can open doors for students who may have been hesitant to try something new-definitely should not be used as a main form of motivating though! #sblchat

      Exactly. @LCSCoach and I were talking about this today. If you give a student a zero you are assessing their behavior, not what they actually know. @ERobbPrincipal @KGT_Educator

    A5 The use of zero as a consequence is never used in the adult world. Most often, the work gets handed back for a re-do. #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Nov 29 @ 9:52 PM EST
    Be relentless with the work and keep explaining its relevance. They need to do the practice to perform on the summative. My toughest students took awhile, but they responded. #sblchat

    If Ss know that a zero is not an option then the only option left is to submit the work, right? It is almost like being a parent and not giving into your kid because as soon as you do they know you’ll give in again. #sblchat

  • PrincipalNyberg Nov 29 @ 9:54 PM EST
    formatives do not go in the gradebook, but some daily assignments do. Our Ts will use these performance tasks as a way for Ss to demonstrate proficiency on portions of their priority standard. You're suggesting only adding summative assessments to the gradebook? #SBLchat

    A5: Giving zeros masks the real problem. Usually zeros always represent a behavior problem, not an academic one. #sblchat

    A6 Work on giving students autonomy over task, team, technique and/or time (thanks again @DanielPink). Also make sure students know why they are learning it! #sblchat
  • kirk_humphreys Nov 29 @ 9:55 PM EST
    Yes. Our school only scores and records summative assessments. Any formative work does not get recorded. #sblchat

    A6 I’ve enjoyed seeing how efolios can enable students to have their own IEP (individualized learning plan) and build on own growth not compare to others - learning becomes personal relevant and meaningful (aka intrinsic) #sblchat

    A6: Help Ss who don't feel success as a learner get a taste of it, they will be motivated. Celebrate the small successes and they will thrive on intrinsic motivation. #sblchat

    I'm curious: how many summatives are given? We've got minimums that must be entered in grdbk so formatives go in #sblchat

    A6 Everyday I am seeing more evidence that going gradeless might be a key component to schools achieving an intrinsically driven culture of learning. #dontconfusenogradeswithnofeedback :) #sblchat
  • kirk_humphreys Nov 29 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A6: I believe the best way to support intrinsic motivation is building a classroom culture that embraces a growth mindset as well as forming those important student-teacher relationships. #sblchat
