Your school's rewards system could be causing more harm than good. Let's talk about why it's time to look at intrinsic and extrinsic motivators and tap into your teachers' inner drive. Daniel Pink's “Drive” revealed a truth about adult motivation and unveils what truly fuels our educators. While we want our educators and students to be motivated intrinsically, we may be sabotaging those motivations by relying too heavily on extrinsic motivators. "Know your why" workshops aren't a magic bullet. They can even mask deeper systemic issues.

By prioritizing honest intrinsic motivation, we can create a more engaged, innovative, and fulfilling work environment for our teachers.
