About This Workshop
If you feel frustrated because students aren’t motivated to do their work and you’ve tried everything, but teaching still feels overwhelming because students think they can’t do the work, then this mini workshop is for you! To get there, we will start by exploring how I can feel hopeful about motivating students when I’ve already tried everything.
We’ll then talk about what grit is and why incorporating it into my classroom makes a difference. Next, we’ll discuss how you can help your students take ownership of their learning. We’ll also discuss how you can make motivation part of your classroom culture. Further, we will examine how you can convince students to keep moving forward after disappointment. This will lead us to dig deeper into seeing how you can teach students not to give up.
Finally, we will discuss how you can teach resilience and help your students persevere. With this mini workshop, you will gain strategies that will have you feeling hopeful again because you finally feel like you can help your students succeed, especially the ones who are often written off. Your students will be excited and motivated to learn and you’re loving your job again.
