What motivates teachers?
• That minute when your students “get it,” and you know you’ve witnessed learning
take place.
• Those times when your students email you outside resources they think you would
like.
• The gift of lifelong learning that comes with being a teacher who teaches about
teaching!
• My students and my own research that keep me up-to-date on the newest research
as well as the latest strategies and methods.
• The opportunity to learn from and meet so many new people from so many walks of
life.

25. What do students want?
In their own words
"Know our names. When teachers know who I am, I act
better.”
"Try not to be boring. Teach us stuff we need to know. Make
class interesting."
All down the line similar responses emerge: Know us. Care
about us. Engage us. It is clear kids want to like school. They
want to be motivated.

29. If we teach today’s
students as we taught
yesterday’s, we rob
them of tomorrow.
Jon Dewey (1859 – 1952)
30. Schools have excellent teachers, but working badly. It
doesn’t make sense to have 21st
Century students
learning from 20th
century teachers, using 19th
century
techniques.
