Ever wish your students were more motivated? If you’re like most of us, you have tried an array of rewards and punishments to motivate kids. There’s only one problem: it doesn’t work. At least it doesn't work well enough. People (yes, even students) aren’t motivated from the outside so rewards and punishments only work to a point. We are internally motivated. That’s why it's essential to engage and inspire students to be motivated to succeed in school (and life.)

If you’re ready to move beyond the reward/punishment model and embrace a whole new way to understand motivation, I encourage you to come back regularly. It’s time to challenge the status quo and create schools and classrooms based on what really motivates behavior.

No Kindle? No Problem? You Can Still Download The Inspiring Teacher


Since the publication last week of The Inspiring Teacher: Making A Positive Difference In Students’ Lives, I have had a number of people ask me if there is any way for them to get this newly revised edition if they don’t have a Kindle. The answer is, “Yes!”

If you have an iPad, you can download a Kindle app for free. It’s exactly the same as having a Kindle on your iPad. (Aside: I also have a Nook on my iPad. It’s like having three e-readers in one.)

There are other options as well. You can get a free Kindle app for a Smartphone, Computer (both Mac and Windows), or Tablet. For more information and easy step-by step-directions on how to read a Kindle book even if you don’t have a Kindle, click here.
