QTC Post #3 Chapter 11

I think a healthy mix of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is best for a classroom setting. As a teacher getting good assessment scores and bonus pay would be a great extrinsic motivation as a teacher. Intrinsic motivation would be teaching to the best of my abilities for the joy that comes from watching children learn and thrive at school or in life in general. As a student, extrinsic motivation could be something like a pizza party or pajama day for getting a certain amount of compliments from other teachers or principals. For intrinsic motivation as a student, hopefully as a teacher I could make learning fun so that student's would want to learn and want to do well. This could be through group activities or through games such as bingo.
