Practical Ideas and Strategies

It seems like more than ever before, schools and districts are dealing with how to respond when students show signs of low motivation, disengagement, or reluctance to learn. Too often, efforts to address motivation have been reactive—waiting until students are failing or displaying negative behaviors before intervention occurs. Grounded in research and classroom proven strategies, schools can take a proactive approach by equipping teachers with tools and strategies that foster motivation and engagement before students fall too far behind.

To help you strengthen the training of your teachers, Casey Watts, a national presenter on student and staff motivation, has developed an exciting, cost-effective train-the-trainer opportunity you won't want to miss. This two-day train-the-trainer institute focuses on practical, ready-to-use strategies for improving student motivation and engagement across all content areas throughout your school day. Participants who complete the institute will return to their schools prepared to train grades 3-12 colleagues on proven approaches for increasing student confidence, persistence, and investment in learning—ultimately leading to stronger achievement and more positive and productive classrooms.

A Message From Your Seminar Leader

Dear Colleague:

As educators, we have all worked with students who seem disengaged, go through the motions, or need more motivation than we know how to provide as individual classroom teachers. We are left wondering what we can do to more systematically help our students become more engaged and interested in learning? We now know that that a proactive, schoolwide focus on student motivation and engagement can offer a better way to meet students' needs earlier and more effectively, and serve as a great relief to your staff as a whole.

In this two-day train-the-trainer institute, I will focus on practical strategies for building and sustaining student motivation that you can take back and share in your own school(s). You will learn how to provide models, coaching, and training that equip teachers with tools to inspire even their most reluctant and disengaged learners. Some of the questions you and your teachers may be asking about student motivation include:

How is building student motivation different from traditional classroom management?
How do I help train teachers to use effective motivational strategies that truly reach disengaged students?
What are the most effective approaches for fostering intrinsic motivation and student confidence?
How can we respond quickly when students show signs of withdrawal, apathy, or resistance?

Together, we will explore the key elements of creating a culture of motivation and engagement in classrooms, along with ways school teams can collaborate to make the process efficient and impactful. You will leave with ready-to-use strategies and training techniques that empower you to help teachers implement more proactive interventions, inspire persistence, and re-ignite students' love of learning.

You will walk away with practical solutions you can rely on — strategies for re-engaging reluctant learners, proven methods to inspire persistence and confidence, and a framework for creating a schoolwide training on student motivation. Most importantly, you'll leave prepared to lead your staff in moving from frustration over unmotivated students to a proactive plan that helps every learner feel capable, motivated, and excited about school.

Sincerely,
Casey Watts

P.S. You will learn highly practical strategies you can use to greatly improve motivation and confidence of your student in Grades 3-12.
