Motivational Plan
Motivational Plan
When students are motivated for school, they are more likely to succeed. I want all of my
students to want to work hard and do the best they can. Every student is motivated in a different
way. Some may work for success, prizes, prestige, power, or just a simple praise. In my own
classroom, I will get to know each student and figure out why they want to learn and what will
push them to be there best.
Extrinsic motivation is great in a classroom and for individual students as well. Students
work for outside rewards. Whether that is a praise from the teacher, a prize for completing
something or even their name being called out loud. I don’t want students to rely on prizes or
rewards when learning. In my own classroom I will use extrinsic in moderation for those who
need it and can effectively use it.
