William Glasser is known for work with Quality Schools. I went through his training in the early 1990’s to better understand how to motivate student behavior to produce quality work.
Glasser describes the basic intrinsic needs that drive us all: to survive, to belong, to gain power (respect), to be free, and to have fun (learning).
By creating conditions in schools that satisfy the basic needs, students will create create ” a personal picture album’ in their heads of this need satisfying experience.

Kuhl. This reminded me of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, and then also our man Seligman’s Positive Psychology, and his recent book “Flourish”… we had some good dialogue about this earlier. Which I’m wondering now, where that is documented and stored. Email? MindMap. Here?
This is a repost from Diigo PSA, but since we are going to be working on motivation, and since these guys are a good place to start, and since we do need to find other places where we had parts of the conversation last year…here it is again with today’s published date.
