Abstract	Many low income, minority schools in California are within 100 points of closing the achievement gap, a prize worth working for no matter how inconvenient, uncomfortable, or risky. In this article, the author describes a better way to motivate educators to try new things that will accelerate student learning and close the achievement gap. The author cites a book by Daniel Pink ("Drive: The Surprising Truth about what Motivates Us") that reveals two sets of condition that motivate people. Pink's book outlines an alternative set of three elements or conditions that do a much better job of motivating individuals intrinsically to try hard, do their best, be successful at whatever they undertake, and do so willingly. These elements are autonomy, mastery, and purpose. (ERIC).
