4
Human operating systems- a set of mostly invisible instructions and protocols on which everything runs
5
Our current operating system is built around external motivators—It does not work and often does harm
6
Motivation 1.0-all about survival Motivation 2.0-external rewards/punishments Motivation 3.0-21 st Century Models
7
When it comes to motivation, there’s a gap between what science knows and we do
8
Carrots and Sticks are so last century. DRIVE says for the 21 st Century, we need to upgrade
9
Seven Reasons Carrots/Sticks Do Not Work: extinguish intrinsic motivation diminishes performance crushes creativity crowds out good behavior encourages unethical behavior creates addictions fosters short-term thinking
10
When Do Carrots/Sticks Work: rule-based routine tasks praise effort and strategy-not intelligence make praise specific praise in private offer praise only when there’s a good reason
11
Reward Intrinsic-Extrinsic If a student 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.
12
Kids aren’t passive receivers of information-they choose what they want to pay attention to in class. Skilled teachers use their “bag of tools” to “build stepping stones” for kids. No one can “Make” a person become motivated; just as no teacher can “make” a student learn. The best we can do is to orchestrate circumstances in the environment so a student will be encouraged to do something that will result in his/her learning
13
Motivation-Six Variables-can be orchestrated by the teacher to increase the probability that a student will want to learn or will be motivated to learn: Level of Concern Feeling Tone Interest Success Knowledge of Results Rewards
14
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
15
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
16
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 Good News-Type I’s are made not born
17
Type I and Type X Type I almost always out performs Type X in the long run Type I behavior does not distain money or recognition Type I behavior is a renewable resource Type I behavior promotes greater physical and mental well being
18
Are you a Type I or Type X Take the free online assessment at: www.danpink.com/drive.html
19
Science shows the way- The new approach has three essential elements
20
Autonomy-the desire to direct our lives
21
Autonomy Task-what we do Time-when we do it Team-who we do it with Technique-how we do it
22
Mastery-the urge to get better and better at something that matters
23
Mastery Capacity to see your abilities not as finite Demands effort, grit, deliberate practice Impossible to fully realize Frustrating and alluring
24
Purpose-the yearning to do what we do in the service of something larger that ourselves
25
Purpose Goals that use profit to reach purpose Words that emphasize more than self-interest Policies that allow people to pursue purpose
26
Ideas for Educators: Apply the Three-Part Test for Homework Have a Fed Ex Day Offer Praise…the right way Help kids see the big picture
27
Ideas for Leaders Try 20 % Time Encourage Peer to Peer Rewards Conduct an Autonomy Audit Use Reich’s Pronoun Test

The secret to high performance and satisfaction—at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.
34
So we have a choice!! It won’t be easy or happen overnight!! We can cling to old habits or be grounded in modern science!! Commit to transition our practice into a twenty-first century model!!!
