Bringing motivation and inspiration to the classroom is not an easy task. Motivating and Inspiring Students: Strategies to Awaken the Learner outlines a framework, based on a six-level hierarchy of student needs and goals, that K-12 teachers can use to impart invigorating instruction. This book builds on the themes of Awaken the Learner: Finding the Source of Effective Education, which asserts K-12 schools' extreme focus on knowledge and skill acquisition is detrimental to students' growth. The authors--Robert J. Marzano, Darrell Scott, Tina H. Boogren, and Ming Lee Newcomb--share comprehensive understandings of the nature of motivation and inspiration and detail strategies to connect with students at each level of the student needs hierarchy.
