Report Card Day
DRIVE
Learning Targets1. I have increased my understanding of
motivation and the gap between what science knows and I do.
2. I have determined whether I am a Type I or Type X.
3. I have deepened my understanding about utilizing the motivational essential elements in my leadership practice.
Drive
Learning Target #1-I have increased my understanding of motivation and the gap between what science knows and I do.
Criteria for Success-Understanding the science of motivation will have a positive impact in my leadership position
Drive
Human operating systems-a set of mostly invisible
instructions and protocols on which everything runs
DRIVE
Our current operating system is built around
external motivators—It does not work and often
does harm
DRIVE
Motivation 1.0-all about survival
Motivation 2.0-external rewards/punishments
Motivation 3.0-21st Century Models
DRIVE
When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between what
science knows and we do
DRIVE
Carrots and Sticks are so last century. DRIVE says for the 21st Century, we
need to upgrade
DRIVE
Seven Reasons Carrots/Sticks Do Not Work:extinguish intrinsic motivationdiminishes performancecrushes creativitycrowds out good behaviorencourages unethical behaviorcreates addictionsfosters short-term thinking
DRIVE
When Do Carrots/Sticks Work:rule-based routine taskspraise effort and strategy-not intelligencemake praise specificpraise in privateoffer praise only when there’s a good reason
DRIVE
RewardIntrinsic-Extrinsic
If a teacher performs for an extrinsic reward and experiences pleasant feelings, success, it is interesting and they receive positive feedback about their performance they are more likely to move towards an intrinsic motive the next time.
DRIVE
People aren’t passive receivers of information-they choose what they want to pay attention to. Skilled leaders use their “bag of tools” to “build stepping stones” for people. No one can “Make” a person become motivated; just as no leader can “make” a person change. The best we can do is to orchestrate circumstances in the environment so a person will be encouraged to do something that will result in his/her learning
DRIVE
Motivation-Six Variables-can be orchestrated by the leader to increase the probability that a person will want to learn or will be motivated to learn:Level of ConcernFeeling ToneInterestSuccessKnowledge of ResultsRewards
DRIVE
Intrinsic Motivation-Four Components:
Self-efficacy-a learner’s belief in his ability to succeed in a particular situation
Self-regulation-The degree to which a learner actively participates in her own learning
pg 16-Moss/Brookhart
DRIVE
Intrinsic Motivation-Four Components:
Self-assessment-A learner’s act of observing and analyzing his own performance on the basis of criteria and steps to improve
Self-attribution-A learner’s own explanations for success or failure that determine the effort she will expend on that activity in the future
pg 16-Moss/Brookhart
DRIVE
Learning Target #2-Determine whether I am a Type X or Type I person
Criteria for Success-Complete the Type X or Type I free online assessment at:

Good News: Type I’s are made not born
Drive
Type X and Type I
Type I behavior concerns itself with the inherent satisfaction of the activity itself results in professional success and personal fulfillment
DRIVE
Type I and Type XType I almost always out performs Type X in the long runType I behavior does not disdain money or recognitionType I behavior is a renewable resourceType I behavior promotes greater physical and mental well being

Activity #3
Learning Target #3-I have deepened my understanding about utilizing the motivational essential elements in my leadership practice.
Criteria for Success-Identify two future leadership actions or steps that will effectively motivate staff to utilize formative assessment with students
Drive
Science shows the way-The new approach has
three essential elements
DRIVE
Autonomy-the desire to direct our lives
DRIVE
AutonomyTask-what we do
Time-when we do itTeam-who we do it withTechnique-how we do it
Drive
When students feel that they understand the criteria by which their work will be judged. They also have a sense of control over their work.
Self-Regulation
pg 28-Moss/Brookhart
Drive
Mastery-the urge to get better and better at
something that matters
DRIVE
MasteryCapacity to see your abilities
not as finiteDemands effort, grit,
deliberate practiceImpossible to fully realizeFrustrating and alluring
DRIVE
Student’s belief that they can be successful at a particular task or assignment is called self-efficacy.
Students with self-efficacy are more likely to persist in their work and are poised to be strategic self-regulators.
pg 28-Moss/Brookhart
Drive
Purpose-the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger that ourselves
DRIVE
PurposeGoals that use profit to reach
purposeWords that emphasize more
than self-interestPolicies that allow people to
pursue purpose
DRIVE
If students understand the learning target but don’t know what qualities will get them there, they are likely to feel discouraged.
Students who have clear pictures of the learning target and of the criteria of success are likely to also have a sense of what they can do.

new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.
DRIVE
