    Q1: is there such thing as an unmotivated person? Here is my opinion: sweattoinspire.com/2012/11/27/unm… #mschat

    Can I get a quick explanation of what we mean when we say "focusing" motivation? #mschat

    I feel everyone is motived but motivations are different. Curriculum is what Ts focus is but not the Ss. #mschat

    @edunators Sure: how to be focus our students motivation to our learning targets away from what their "natural" motivation my be. #mschat

    @edunators Expanding into Ts to be motived to learn and admins to be motived to guide teachers to be the best the can be. #mschat

    All Ss are motivated by something. In poorer districts, a S might be motivated by getting to eat. There is something for everybody. #mschat

    Don't think there is an "unmotivated person." Can experience times of frustration or exhaustion but believe everyone has unique exp #mschat

    Q2: IF all Ss are motivated how can Ts focus it towards learning, move it away from social issues, or food, or etc....? #mschat

    Knowing Ss and their interest can help us Ts to tie it their interests and motivations. Seems all come back to relationships. #mschat

    To focus Ss' motivation, empowering them by giving them project choices in which they chose Bloom's really worked for my 6th-8th #mschat

    @clementc26 Totally agree everybody has some sort of motivation... so how do we focus it towards educational goals? #mschat

    Believe #schoolclimate has a big impact on #student motivation - if feel unsafe or unsupported, the motivation to learn is affected #mschat
