Our field comes with paradoxes…one being that we seek systematic, replicable procedures to teach flexibility, spontaneity, and creativity. It can be difficult for parents, teachers, and other professionals to BOTH present clear instruction AND help their learners have fun. It can be difficult for managers to generate programming that encourages teacher flexibility.
Today, we offer some potential solutions. Drawing from our newly released book, 2,100+ Inexpensive Ideas for Play and Intrinsic Motivation, we will teach you to gauge learner interest, distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and establish a culture in which both teachers and learners HAVE FUN!
