Essential Motivation in the Classroom

A great deal has changed in the word of education since Essential Motivation in the Classroom was published in 2002. Then again, nothing has changed at all, which is why this third edition of Gilbert's bestselling classic text is still very much needed.

He is the founder of Independent Thinking, chief editor of the award-winning Independent Thinking Press and the author of several books, including Why Do I Need a Teacher When I've Got Google? (Routledge, 2014).
