Motivation and Emotional Support
Questions to further your learning:
1. Consider the grade you teach (or plan to teach) and identify the ten most important skills, attitudes, or behaviors a teacher must possess in order to instruct effectively at this level. Keep this list so you can compare it with your thoughts after you have read the entire book.
2. To what extent do you think it necessary or advisable to use extrinsic motivation approaches (rewards, competition)? If you intend to do so, how do you plan to minimize their undesirable side effects?
3. What does it mean to say that a student "is motivated" or "has no motivation"? What evidence would lead you to make such judgements?
Emotional Support is a CLASS Domain. This domain is particularly important when considering how to set the tone or environment in your classroom. Think of those teachers in school that you loved. Why did you love them? What experiences did you have because of them? In this video, a teacher discusses her classroom. You are going to write down 3 take-aways from this video for your own classroom.
