The motivated school

Some students don't achieve their full potential, while others of similar ability achieve more than predicted.

The Motivated School shows how important students' motivational mindsets can be, in influencing the way they learn.

Alan McLean brings together evidence from recent research, shows how successful learning contexts can be created, and provides real-life suggestions for teachers working with disengaged learners.

Increasing pressure to meet targets has sent schools down the path of trying to motivate students 'from the outside'.

By recognising that genuine motivation comes 'from the inside' and that self-motivation needs to be nurtured, this book provides a practical guide to both teacher and student motivation.

The Motivated School will be of interest to anyone seeking to develop their skills in motivating young people to learn.
