062 Cognitive Effort & Professional Learning

Two Pint PLC

The routines, rewards, and incentives we use in the classroom can help students build productive habits they use throughout their lives. We read about a series of studies that found how rewarding cognitive effort can lead to greater intrinsic motivation for participants… even after the rewards. We think about how this could apply in classrooms. Later, we discuss a recent report promoting research on the positive impacts of professional learning. How can we get the most from our time and energy in PD?
