Motivating others
Motivating others, whether students, colleagues, or staff, requires a nuanced understanding of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Some key insights I’ve gathered and how I plan to apply them:
I plan to offer students more choices in their learning activities and projects, allowing them to pursue areas they are passionate about.
Emphasize Mastery: I will focus on providing feedback highlighting progress and personal growth rather than solely grading for outcomes. Celebrating achievements in their learning journey can reinforce their intrinsic motivation.
I will encourage team projects and peer collaboration, fostering a supportive environment where colleagues can share ideas and learn from each other.
I will advocate for and participate in professional development opportunities that align with my colleagues’ interests and career goals, ensuring they feel supported in their growth.
I will regularly review personal goals that align with my passions and values. This can help maintain my intrinsic motivation and focus on continuous improvement.
I will actively seek constructive feedback and reflect on my progress and achievements, which will help me stay engaged and motivated in my role.
