Something to Think About






From a new book by Daniel Pink, DriveThe Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us.    Pink is the author of A Whole New MindWhy Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future. I highly recommend both!

What would Martin Luther King Jr.'s sentence be?

Ask yourself the second question every day!

Help students learn to ask themselves these two questions, too!

You might also be interested in this interview with Pink talking about schools and education:  "Carrots and Sticks are So Last Century" in which he asserts 'The time has come to tap "the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world."'  Really intriguing.
