Motivating the Unmotivated Student

Some students have been unresponsive for so long, they have forgotten what it is like to be engaged. Never give up on them!

Achievement is… – 25% IQ – 25% Opportunities and Experiences – 50% Self-Efficacy and Self- Esteem (Competence and Confidence) (Perkins and Resnick)

AHA! IQ is not stationary. You are not born with all the brain cells you’ll ever have. The brain is continually making new neurons and changing connections between existing neurons. Teach students to have a “growth mindset”!

Teachley's Amazing Talking Brain

Key to Engagement Pay attention to people problems, not to discipline problems! The “WHY” is more important than the “WHAT”.

FRUSTRATION ANGER APATHY

STRESS!!! A reaction to a perceived loss of control over an adverse situation. Give kids appropriately increasing amounts of control over their lives at school.

AHA! Stress can reduce connections by 50% and impairs short term memory. Teachers can cut down on stress for students by: making personal connections providing a “safe” environment reactivating prior learning giving immediate feedback with error correction.

Feedback is one of the greatest sources of intrinsic motivation.

Punishment rarely changes behavior! Punishment confirms the student’s view that they cannot succeed. The carrot works better than the stick!

Educators have been trained to look for negatives. When you see a negative behavior you have a choice. You can either help the student handle the stress or pile more on. -Vicki Phillips, Empowering Discipline
