How to Create a Perfect School: Maintain Students' Motivation and Love of Learning from Kindergarten through 12th Grade - Softcover
Book 1 of 2: The Perfect School Collection
Synopsis
Parents and educators have the same desire: to hear students exclaim, “School is challenging, but I love it!” Unfortunately, our current education system does very little to produce these results. Why? Because we do not know how to preserve and grow students’ intrinsic motivation. That is the focus of How to Create a Perfect School.
Lee Jenkins wrote this invaluable guide to share the proven processes he has developed which encourage students to work hard and enjoy learning. These processes include:
- organizing student input to maintain their kindergarten level of intrinsic motivation
- replacing school practices that destroy motivation with ones that accelerate motivation
- honoring every student for outperforming their own best work
- adding up every student’s contribution for team totals
- creating students who can clearly explain the learning process to any interested adult.
Do these processes really work? Yes! This method has been tested with more than 7500 students, and the results are in. Teachers using this method see an increase in classroom learning by six times the national average.
Do you want this to be your school? Then look no further. How to Create a Perfect School is the book you need to lead your students into long-lasting, student-driven academic success.
The learning to read process is far too often the first dent in children’s intrinsic motivation. Lee Jenkins’ Early Reading books support the practices for maintaining intrinsic motivation taught in How to Create a Perfect School.

Angela Willnerd, first grade teacher in Fremont, Nebraska, uses math manipulatives to illustrate effect sizes to her students. The four cubes in her left hand represent the average effect size of .40 from over 250 influences upon student learning. She uses this visual to explain that an effect size of .80 is double the learning of a .40, an effect size of 1.20 is triple the learning of a .40 and so on. The 23 cubes in Ms. Willnerd's right hand represent almost six times the average learning from classrooms utilizing the processes explained in How to Create a Perfect School
