STUDENT MOTIVATION
They're all peak moments, representing the culmination of students' work. They're social, often performed in front of an audience, and involve an element of competition or pressure. There's a sense of pomp and circumstance about them - notice how often we actually wear distinctive clothes to them.
Unfortunately, many of those memorable moments happen outside the classroom. What school systems need is a massive infusion of peak moments. This is a rare case when we can motivate students and teachers and improve academic outcomes all at once.
