The New Logic of Rewards"
Showtime:
Friday, Dec. 5, 2008
11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Keynote Presenter:
Daniel Pink
In this provocative and
entertaining presentation, bestselling author Daniel Pink will survey three
decades of research that calls into question how we think about high
performance. He'll show that people who are intrinsically motivated -- who
do what they because of enjoyment of the task itself -- routinely outperform
those who are motivated by external rewards such as money, promotions, and
grades. Pink will unpack the elements of intrinsic motivation and show how
school leaders can allow it to surface in teachers and students.

Presentation

ASCD's Whole Child Presentation
(in Adobe PDF format)
******************************
Join ASCD's Focus on:
The Whole Child: Healthy,
Safe, Engaged, Supported, Challenged The
Association
for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD)
calls on parents, educators, policymakers,
and communities to join forces to ensure our
children become productive, engaged
citizens. Our children deserve an education
that emphasizes academic rigor as well as
the essential 21st-century skills of
critical thinking and creativity.
ASCD proposes a broader definition of
achievement and accountability that promotes
the development of children who are healthy,
safe, engaged, supported, and challenged.
The Learning Compact Redefined: A Call to
Action, recommends a new compact with our
young people. The Compact asks local, state,
and national policymakers to ensure
conditions that support comprehensive
approaches to learning - for engaging the
whole child.
It
asks that communities look at the whole
picture and make sure that:
-
Each student enters
school healthy and learns about and
practices a healthy lifestyle.
-
Each student learns in
an intellectually challenging
environment that is physically and
emotionally safe for students and
adults.
-
Each student is actively
engaged in learning and is connected to
the school and broader community.
-
Each student has access
to personalized learning and is
supported by qualified, caring adults.
-
Each graduate is
challenged by a well-balanced curriculum
and is prepared for success in college
or further study and for employment in a
global environment.
