But here's the good news: student demotivation is not inevitable. It's not "a sign of the times "; it's not "kids these days;" it's not "because of COVID. "
Instead, it's a symptom of the fact that modern education has lost touch with several key realities:
• Every one of our students wants to want to learn
• Every school in the world can be both productive and humane—achievement and wellness aren’t opposed to one another but instead are friends
• As teachers, you and I have an outlandish (though not omnipotent) influence on the degree to which students in our classrooms experience the will to learn, and
• The most powerful strategies for cultivating student motivation are far from complicated
In this book, acclaimed teacher-writer Dave Stuart Jr. brings a new theory of student motivation to the educational conversation. Along the way, he shares
• The five key beliefs beneath all motivated student learning
• Ten high-yield, low-effort methods for cultivating student motivation in all kinds of classrooms for all kinds of students, all year long
• Tactics for overcoming over fifty common hang-ups that teachers and students experience with student motivation
Let's do the work, colleague. And: let's do it with care.
