The purpose of this edition is the same as the first edition: to present content from the current knowledge base in motivation that offers hope and possibilities for educators—teachers, parents, coaches, and administrators—to enhance motivation for achievement. The knowledge base from research and theory was chosen to help teachers understand motivation of students and themselves and to provide the basis for strategies to foster motivation for all levels of student performance—from those deemed academically at-risk to those designated as honor students. The content is based on two roles teachers have for supporting and cultivating motivation in the classroom: (a) establishing the classroom structure and instruction that provides the environment for optimal motivation, engagement, and learning; and (b) helping students develop the tools that will enable them to be self-regulated learners.
This book was written for all instructional professionals in organizational training settings who are seeking proven methods to create efficient learning environments. This includes classroom and synchronous e-learning instructors, as well as designers and developers of classroom and multimedia instructional materials.
Teachers play various roles in a typical classroom, but surely one of the most important is that of classroom manager. Effective teaching and learning cannot take place in a poorly managed classroom. If students are disorderly and disrespectful, and no apparent rules and procedures guide behavior, chaos becomes the norm.
What do classroom teachers do on a daily basis to incorporate the study and production of texts in multiple media? What are some of their assignments? How do teachers assign grades in a classroom where the final project may be a sculpture, a film, or a website? This book answers these and many other questions by examining the work of pioneers: teachers who have transformed their classrooms in an effort to broaden the literacy of their students. Describing some of the most innovative examples of teaching and learning, this volume offers practical guidance, including actual lessons, assignments, and assessments that have been used successfully in pioneering classrooms.
