Library's review
Motivation is the key to learning. But very few parents and teachers have an effective arsenal of techniques at their disposal. Lavoie's practical, innovative approach begins with a quiz that helps a parent or teacher identify -- using six different possible models -- a child's motivational style.
* Does he need prestige?
* Does praise mean a lot to this child?
* Does contact with other people inspire this child?
* Does he like to do projects?
* Does she enjoy receiving prizes?
He then explores each motivational style in depth, presenting proven techniques, strategies, and scripts that can be used in the classroom and at home to break through a child's apathy and discouragement and inspire him to succeed and achieve. Selected Reading Questionnaire.
