Intrinsic Motivation and Montessori
"You can't learn what you don't do."
A simple statement that so clearly illustrates the motivation behind a child's work in the Montessori classroom.
If we, as parents and teachers would break the cycle of offering extrinsic motivation and rewards, perhaps we'd see a very different society than we do today.
A wonderful short video of a talk by Mark Berger at Oregon State University - watch this!
