Motivated students (and children) are, to teachers (and parents) precious commodities to be cherished. A motivated student (child) is more likely to learn.
Sometimes we get so busy teaching students that we forget about motivating them to learn. Three practical guidelines are presented: focusing on student’s interests; the importance of “selling” subject matter; and why teachers should insist on effort. Teacher Talk sessions are provided.
Grading practices and report cards can be a sticky subject with parents and teachers. This program addresses the topics of grades, report cards, and motivating students to achieve. Parent Talk sessions are provided.
This program gives parents ideas on what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to motivating kids in school...and in life! Parents learn about; intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation; if paying students for grades works; and why the focus needs to be on effort. Parent Talk sessions are provided.
