If motivating students feels like a daily guessing game where you hope your idea will work, but it feels like a gamble, then this mini workshop is for you.  Learn strategies based on brain science that will give you the confidence to consistently foster high levels of student motivation. Students will show up, give effort, and learn better, leaving you re-energized as a teacher.

To accomplish this, we'll begin by exploring why we struggle to motivate students.  Then we'll reflect on why a strategy often works once and then fails when we use it again. Next we'll discuss how to get students looking forward to your lessons and how to motivate the hard-to-motivate. From there we'll talk about practical applications including what happens if none of this works and how to modify these strategies for elementary, middle, or high school students. Finally, we'll help you continue your growth by focusing on how to boost student motivation moving forward.
