    It poses many ideas that will challenge teachers to think in new ways and challenge the status quo.

  2. Laura – SOUTH TEXAS ISD (verified owner)

    Good information on rewards to keep in mind

  3. Laney – DONNA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner)

    I loved this course. I think that the lack of intrinsic motivation is partly why we struggle with our students. After this course I want to read more about it and how it may apply to music education.

    Interesting evidence based ideas given. She is right, if you are the one that is going to turn off the rewards faucet, it could be a tough year.
