Creating Highly Motivating Classrooms
Research suggests that the student who is "learning-oriented"- the student whose goal is to understand and who is thinking about what she is doing - is likely to enjoy school. From hands-on discovery to in-depth performance tasks, we will help teachers learn to motivate even the most reluctant learner. How do you turn a group of middle school math students into a class of highly motivated learners? Big Ideas Learning will work with your staff to enrich their classrooms with researched based strategies to engage students in learning.
By mastering time proven methods, your staff will learn to create a classroom environment that strengthens students' enthusiasm and intrinsic motivation while addressing individual needs. As a result, students will emerge from their classroom with a new sense of confidence in their abilities and a deeper understanding of concepts. Students will retain new information longer, and will be less likely to need remediation. These methods will be taught in a single day, yet will forever change the way your staff encourages learning in their students.
