This TED Talks video came out back in 2009. I just discovered it. Knowing who Daniel Pink is and some of what he does and has done with education, I did not know he spoke at TED. Although this presentation is business-centered, it goes hand-in-hand with education. The way businesses are motivating their teams is the same motivation that works in the school system.
Being a former businessman myself, I know that if your team is not intrinsically interested in what your business is doing or they do not know where your business is going, they may never be as successful and devoted to learning as they would if they WANTED to invest themselves into it. They will not be your problem-solvers or your goto people if you need creative solutions or to be innovative.
Do students need to learn to think outside the box? Or is creative thinking something for after school? Perhaps they should wait to finish their standardized test before attempting this. Write in the comments below your thoughts about this.
