An Intrinsic Update - Growth or Fixed

A lot of what Include Solutions does on a daily basis is talk to professionals about their experiences of developing an ethos which motivates young people intrinsically rather than extrinsically. This however is a very broad area to try and develop within education so we constantly ask ourselves one very simple question; What would an intrinsically motivated school look like?





Although a simple question it can not bring simple answers and this is why talking to fellow professionals is vital in this process. Today Dr Barry Hymer led a session on exploring the contribution of mindsets towards intrinsic learning motivation and gift creation in the classroom. I am sure that some people in the audience looked at the title with a slight gasp, however with what followed any sceptical attitudes were replaced by ones much more open to this idea of radical reform.
