Developing Questions

It is strange to believe that at the beginning of this module it was hard to think of questions, mainly because I was thinking too hard !  Now narrowing it down to one question is difficult.  I have thought about this long and hard - and it has been hard...I have been into my local secondary school and also thought about my current employment to try and inspire me.  After thinking about my proposed career, teaching in Secondary schools, I started  to think about the changes I would need to make.  Whilst volunteering at my local secondary school I decided to make notes on differences I came across between what the teachers do at the school and what I do when I teach at local dance schools.  A big one I came up with was Motivation! Every teacher needs to motivate their pupils but I would like to look into it in greater depth.  This is because I currently teach at dance schools where the majority choose to attend out of enjoyment, whereas from previous experience in secondary schools, years 7-9  have to participate whether they want to or not....What methods of motivation are used for those who have no interest in dance whatsoever?!  I hope to look into methods of motivation to benefit the next stage in my career, and I hope this will be of benefit to others too, who are wanting to do the same.
