The document discusses ideas for motivating students, including considering the best and worst managed organizations they have observed. It defines management as planning, organizing, leading, and controlling resources to efficiently achieve goals. Students are encouraged to relate their observations to this definition and identify any of its elements. The document also suggests considering three aspects when motivating students: connecting to prior learning through research and examples; promoting inquiry and critical thinking over simple delivery of information; and fostering a learning community through learning teams and cohort groups.
