About this Round Table Workshop:
Most teachers would agree that student motivation is one of the most challenging issues to deal with in the classroom. There is an overabundance of “how to” books, videos, workshops, and even courses on this topic. Yet the problem persists. This program offers exploration and discussion about student engagement rooted in the belief that students do not need more motivation; they need inspiration. Participants will discuss the differences between motivating students to achieve and inspiring students to learn. Understanding that motivation and inspiration are not interchangeable terms and planning strategies accordingly can have a profound impact on student performance as well as school culture. This understanding will lead to the development of practical strategies to use with children in the classroom to inspire them to learn and become self-motivated, responsible individuals.
Learner Outcomes:
As a result of attending, Participants will learn to:
- Define the difference between the concepts of motivation and inspiration, and give examples of each.
- Discuss and compare the indicators of motivation-based practices and inspirational forces in a classroom and their impact on student performance and school culture.
- Identify specific, common techniques used to motivate students which can be counterproductive to student engagement.
- Identify practical strategies for inspiring students that can be implemented in the classroom and in the school.
