Motivation TIPR

Describe how the teacher and/or school motivate students. Give specific examples of both extrinsic and intrinsic motivators. Include vocabulary from specific motivational theories (e.g., Self-determination Theory, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, etc.) and be sure to include a reference in your response. 

According to the article https://www.verywell.com/what-is-motivation-2795378, motivation is defined by the process that initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors.  Basically, it is what causes us to act.  
How to motivate someone who is unmotivated is a huge question I have as I am about to embark on the challenge of teaching teenagers.  I asked my teenage son, who is 16, what motivates him.  He has always been a very good student and self motivated.  When I asked him, his response was "getting good grades, and pleasing the teacher".  In my home, I have not dealt with lack of motivation in my kids.  I guess, I have been lucky.  Teaching is going to be a real test in how to motivate your students.  I have learned so much from the section on motivation, and the theories of motivation. One of the motivation theories that I especially liked learning about was the self-determination theory.  I really like the idea of a students desires and natural tendencies to be their motivation.  
At the middle school that I have been doing my observation at, every term if the student gets on the high honor roll, they get to miss a half day of school to attend a fun activity.  They are excused from the classes, and they leave the school for a fun activity.  Some of the activities they have done are go to the movies, they have gone bowling, and they have gone to Classic Fun Skating.  This is a great example of extrinsic motivation.  I know that my son and his friends worked as hard as they could to get on the high honor roll so they could all go on this activity together.  
Intrinsic motivation is having the motivation to do something because you enjoy it.  I assume the majority of students are not motivated intrinsically.  I really like this you tube video and motivating your teenager.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNUy2s9M3ck   It talks about letting your child do those activities that your child enjoys, to learn some of the rewards and lessons learned and in time that intrinsic motivation will move into other areas of their lives.  
 The following link is to a list of motivation theories that I want to keep for future reference.  http://changingminds.org/explanations/theories/a_motivation.htm.  
I think by having a classroom that provides the basic needs of a student as shown in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, a student will have the desire to learn and the motivation to continue on.
