I found the first class session to be very beneficial. I appreciate that we were able to spend some time getting to new our new cohort members and getting to know our new small group that we will be blogging with. I am very excited about the fact that we are working with other districts. This will give us a new perspective of what is happening in districts around us and hopefully will instill new ideas and foundations in us that we can employ as we enter into our leadership roles.
Now onto motivation:
Pink’s video on motivation showed that autonomy, mastery, and purpose are three of the leading ways to enhance motivation. It also discussed how monetary rewards do not guarantee harder or more efficient workers.
Personal Quick note on motivation:
I plan to employ many different techniques in order to motivate my teachers and peers. One technique that should be successful is using the tight-loose theory and allowing teachers to be self-directed on some of the ‘loose’ items. If teachers are allowed the freedom to use their own techniques in these areas we will see a flourish of outstanding ideas, that we would not have seen if I was tight about everything.
