Abstract	This is the last in a series of six papers by the Center on Education Policy exploring issues related to students' motivation to learn. This paper explores ways in which schools, teachers, and communities are using nontraditional methods to try to motivate students who don't respond to more traditional strategies. The paper focuses on three such methods--alternative teaching styles, extracurricular activities, and technology--but these are not the only approaches that could spur motivation in unenthusiastic students. Although some of the strategies discussed in this paper include non-academic means to engage reluctant students, the ultimate purpose of each strategy examined here is to improve "academic" motivation.
