[...] This year, I have particularly strengthened my understanding of motivators and have used this knowledge to provide a more sophisticated suite of extrinsic and intrinsic motivations for my students. This has borne fruit in the improved engagement and performance of classes where this has been applied, for example, see this article on unlocking achievement. [...]

I haven’t implemented progress bars yet, but the class have earned themselves a rocket day.

Nick,

I loved this post. I’m really flattered and fascinated that you showed my talk to your class – and in their brilliant level of responses. The fact that they seem so willing to help design an extrinsic reward system is really exciting – as is the hope that this might help lead them on to experiencing and recognising some of the intrinsic rewards in what they’re doing.

I’d love to hear how this progresses and what your class comes up with. As much as anything, I’d hope that the process of trying to design a reward system is a worthwhile learning experience in itself, and one that helps them to examine what all the “right” things are that they should be trying to do – and why these are “right”, how they fit together, and what the most important skills of all are.

Do get in touch if you have time,

very best

Tom
