We are beginning to study this topic as well and are exploring research by Niemiec and Ryan. We are reading their article titled, "
Autonomy, competence, and relatedness in the classroom: Applying self-determination theory to educational practice".

Subject: What are some strategies she might consider to help her students motivate themselves intrinsically to be and do their best?
Greetings to each of you! I just left a K classroom where I am just beginning to coach/mentor a first-year teacher and she is looking for ways to intrinsically motivate her students. Her classroom links meaningful relationships, social-emotional learning, and classroom management as she uses a community model of discipline rather than a competitive model. What are some strategies she might consider to help her students motivate themselves intrinsically to be and do their best?
