Alfie Kohn: Every parent and educator should know him

Every parent and educator should familiarize themselves with Alfie Kohn. He is an expert on human motivation and education. I have been fortunate enough to hear him speak and trust me I felt motivated to create a better learning environment for my students afterward. His lectures, books and videos all make you question the way you have approached classroom management and parenting. One of the things I like most about Alfie is that all of his work is backed by extensive research.

Here are some of his DVD's I suggest watching





Here are some excerpts from his talks and videos....

You can get his videos, books and read his articles at www.alfiekohn.org
