“Difficult students need a teacher who recognizes that building positive relationships is without question the most important factor in succeeding with difficult students.” ~Canter & Canter • “Difficult students need behavior management approaches addressed to their specific, individual needs.” ~Canter & Canter • “How do we do this?” ~Allen & Allen • “What makes us take our work seriously and put in effort even when it’s hard?” ~Allen & Allen • “Relevance, real world feedback, responsibility, and respect.” ~Allen & Allen
What is Motivation? • “Academic motivation is a student’s desire (as reflected in approach, persistence, and level of interest) regarding academic subjects when the student’s competence is judged against a standard of performance or excellence.” ~McGrew
