How to talk with youth about their motivations
WHAT IS INTRINSIC MOTIVATION?
In The Oxford Handbook of Human Motivation, Edward L. Deci, one of the world's leading researchers on intrinsic motivation, defines intrinsic motivation as:
The inherent propensity to:
(1) ENGAGE IN ONE’S INTERESTS (Motivations)
(2) EXERCISE ONE’S CAPACITIES (Abilities)
(3) SEEK OUT AND MASTER OPTIMAL CHALLENGES (GOALS)

Matt Darling, Dean Of Expeditions, Summit Prep Charter High School
"One particularly striking example comes from our freshman mentor, Mr. S. After just two months of working with Passion Coaching, he shared that their guidance has given him a toolkit to make his daily 60-minute mentor sessions with 20 freshmen both sustainable and rewarding. This is a remarkable shift from the burnout he had reported before. Similarly, his mentees have become more vocal about their aspirations. One student, who had previously disengaged from classes, chose to reengage with Algebra 1 after connecting the dots between their dream of starting a business and the math skills they needed to succeed."
Lucas Smith, 9th Grade Math Teacher & 9th Grade Mentor, Summit Prep Charter High School
"When my mentees met Paul and Mariamne, they were greeted with a personalized and compassionate structure that my mentees were not accustomed to and were challenged to think about their own motivations. After only four short days with Paul and Mariamne, I noticed an immediate change in all of my mentees demeanor; this made me invite Paul and Mariamne into my mentor class to continue working with my mentees."
