All too often, students sit passively in compliance, “doing school,” doing just enough to get by. Others lack the motivation to even try. In this edWebinar, you learn how to shift students’ mindsets from one of compliance, apathy, and even victimization to a new story of hope where they become the hero in their own story. Help learners have purpose, ownership, and the courage to try, persevere, and develop a strong sense of self-efficacy and motivation.
Viewers:
- Learn part of the framework they can use to help students start taking ownership today
- Explore how to help students track their own progress and make decisions about how to get better
- Be reinspired and reinvigorated for their profession
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, school leaders, coaches, school counselors, and any educator interested in helping kids’ motivation and ownership.
