 * __INTRODUCTION TO MOTIVATION__ **

There are many theories surrounding the psychology of motivation and the adult learner. The subject is acually quite complex from the theory aspect, and there are many educational psychologist and studies on this subject. The editors of pidp3250group 5 will be outlining some the more well known theories that involve motivation and learning with the adult learner, and even the teacher!


 * __MOTIVATING THE TEACHER__**

We must not leave the teacher out! There are alot of tools, techniques and theories that have been developed for the teacher to improve their teaching skills, to be an effective teacherand to have good classroom management skills to make for a well organized plan for the day and to ahve a great teaching experience with the students. Who motivates and inspires the teacher? Well in some schools it could be the administrators, or your fellow faculty members, we sometimes forget to pay attention to ourselves. (Which can really happen becuase we do the same with our personal lives). The editors would like to offer the simple but very inspiring and often profoundand simple "quote". "The use of quotes can be a powerful tool that may bring a smile to teachers faces and help them push through during those tough times. Quotes can also teach inportant lessons that will help improve the teahing team at the school." (Jennifer Wagman, Inspiring Quotes for Teachers; Feb 18, 2009)
