They all have different personalities, strengths, and weaknesses, so its a battle to keep them all motivated. I constantly stress the importance of hard work as opposed to talent in learning and keeping up there grades. I also make sure that everyone of them knows that they are the best at something, while letting them know its ok not to be the best at everything. I can imagine how difficult it is in a classroom.TurbineGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781298806992944235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1157078718535283942006-08-31T22:45:00.000-04:002006-08-31T22:45:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comments and links.

Like many things I'm handed it had no source on it at all. It just seems so basic to me....common sense, you know....EHThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17964668210604436937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1157032965173594532006-08-31T10:02:00.000-04:002006-08-31T10:02:00.000-04:00Here's another good one:Managing Classroom Behavio...Here's another good one:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.adihome.org/phpshop/pdf/articles/JDI_03_02_03.pdf" REL="nofollow">Managing Classroom Behavior</A>KDeRosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853211164976890091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1156979295317024122006-08-30T19:08:00.000-04:002006-08-30T19:08:00.000-04:00You're close to understanding the motivation probl...You're close to understanding the motivation problem in lower-performers.<BR/><BR/>I'd suggest reading <A HREF="http://www.zigsite.com/PDFs/StuPro_Align.pdf" REL="nofollow">this</A>.KDeRosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853211164976890091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20993778.post-1156926292014734042006-08-30T04:24:00.000-04:002006-08-30T04:24:00.000-04:00So, where does one find research to back up the "S...So, where does one find research to back up the "Six Needs?" Everything we do under NCLB must be research-backed, remember . . .<BR/><BR/>But I am truly curious. Two months ago I sat through a 20-day series of lectures by top Texas educators and administrators, several of them talking about how teachers need to motivate students, a few latching onto Maslow's hierarchy, but not one ever venturing close to Herzberg's solid work on motivation.<BR/><BR/>You're closer. <BR/><BR/>What's your source?Ed Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056539160596825210noreply@blogger.com
