I don’t have to if I don’t want to!
This class is boring!
When am I ever going to use that!
How come you gave me an F!
I’ll come, but you can’t make me do anything!
If he doesn’t have to, then I don’t either!
That’s not fair!
This is stupid!
You’ve never heard these before…

Unmotivated? What does that mean? Does he/she do nothing…?
Or does it mean "how to get him/her to do what we want him/her to do...?"

![Page 5: Motivating the unmotivated student](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/549322a5b47959f3778b45ed/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why?
What reasons lead students to not be “motivated”
to do their work?
![Page 6: Motivating the unmotivated student](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/549322a5b47959f3778b45ed/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Willingness to accept responsibility…

Gut check question…
If kids had the choice, would they still come to your class?
![Page 8: Motivating the unmotivated student](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/549322a5b47959f3778b45ed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Who is doing more work in your classroom… ?
Who is working harder in your classroom, you, or the students…?
If you are absent, can the class go on or will it come to a grinding halt…?
Are you the sole possessor of knowledge and information, or do you facilitate a learning culture where knowledge and information are shared…?
![Page 9: Motivating the unmotivated student](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061303/549322a5b47959f3778b45ed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Which better describes you and the culture within your classroom?

Some kids don't want to learn because they don't feel
they are able to learn...
Help them change their mindset & get learning!

Autonomy, mastery and purpose…

What about grades?
Do grades motivate kids?
If grades are the only thing that will motivate a kid, is that a good or a bad thing?
What happens when grades don’t motivate? Is that a good or a bad thing?

Technology is NOT the silver bullet to motivating students.
