Dedicated to Parents and Preschool Teachers

Traditionally, educators and teachers have been concerned with assessing what children learn instead of focusing on how children learn. Jack Frymier says “Students learn when they’re motivated to learn. If they want to learn, they will. If they don’t, you can’t make them learn.” Any successful effort to improve learning will therefore be fundamentally about improving students’ motivation.



Motivation is an individual matter. Kids differ; in personality, in background and experience, in sociability, in creativity, in intelligence, in their interests. Different kids are motivated by different things. No effort at motivation will succeed unless it is designed with kids’ interests and capabilities in mind.
