Mark Twin writes, "that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do"
Motivation: it is apart of our lives everyday. We as teachers are not doing this for the money, we have a deeper drive to help better student's lives and to work for something that is bigger than ourselves. When we have a job, we work for money. When we have a vocation, we work for our own enjoyment. Those who have jobs, become disinterested with their work and often leave to find something that they can be passionate about. Those in a vocation, often times never leave, even if the money is not the greatest because they love what they are doing.We need to show our students that we are motivated and passionate about education so they are excited about learning.
Way's that teachers can show their passion about learning:
- Be happy! Smile :)
- Never put down a subject
- Always be willing to listen to student's interests
- Friday's are Fun!
- Have a box in your classroom where students can write down topics that they want to learn more about. Set aside time every Friday to study one of the topics.
