Motivating the Difficult to Teach draws on studies that seek to determine the nature of the relationship between pupils' particular educational needs and their motivation. The book serves as an introduction to the rapidly developing field of motivation and also provides guidance for teachers on implementing the new research in schools. The dynamics of motivation are discussed and the reader is introduced to a number of 'motivational styles' or common motivational patterns. The elements of school and classroom practice which are likely to maximise adaptive motivational styles, and minimise maladaptive ones, are also discussed. This is an important introduction to the field which will be essential reading for students of Education at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and also to teachers, particularly Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators and LEA advisers with related concerns.
