Alfie Kohn

Alfie Kohn is an American author and speaker known for his critical views on traditional education practices. He advocates for approaches that emphasize intrinsic motivation, collaboration, and the development of critical thinking, rather than relying heavily on grades, rewards, or punishments. Kohn believes that fostering a love for learning and encouraging curiosity leads to more meaningful and effective education. His work encourages educators and parents to create environments where children learn out of interest and enjoyment, promoting deeper understanding and personal growth instead of superficial achievement.
