Instructional Methods
Motivation is what keeps a
good classroom moving smoothly, and makes education
fun. I
hope to display my ability to direct, arouse, and
maintain behaviors and learning.
I will offer incentives
for going beyond normal classroom obligations.
Even though I hope that my
students are intrinsically motivated, I will
offer extrinsic motivation in the form of rewards,
but not for doing what is expected, only when
they have gone beyond the basics of the
curriculum.
I hope to spark their curiosity and I hope
that knowledge can become their intrinsic motivation
to achieve in my class.
