These suggested strategies will help you motivate your students, despite the time of year...beginning of school year, before holiday breaks or Spring Break, to even tackling the senioritis monster that tends to “eat” many of our students alive near the end of the year. These strategies aim at facilitating meaningful and effective group work as well as supporting and reinforcing individual student efforts; while simultaneously offering reward system(s) for both extrinsic and intrinsic learners. Some strategies are closely linked to various types of Kagan strategies, while others are strictly created “off the cuff” with the teacher proactively adjusting to the needs and demands of their perspective classes.

In every classroom, a few students are academic sponges. They soak up knowledge and still want more.

However, in the same class are students who find learning a struggle.

These students expect failure, they fear being wrong in front of their friends. They find academics as unimportant in their life plans, doubt the role of the school to prepare them for the future, or experience boredom.

Differentiation asks teachers to know their students well so they can provide each one with experiences and tasks that will improve learning.

Teachers who accept responsibility for students success seek ways to invite students to take a risk. This session will provide tools for teachers to get to know their students. It will focus on presentation styles to meet the needs of every students in the classroom.
