EDN 660 Design Motivation All Lrnrs

This course provides educators with a framework for creating motivating classroom experiences for all learners. Participants will examine the complex nature of learner motivation and the way in which it relies on both external, teacher-dependent factors (such as a safe classroom environment and engaging learning activities) and internal, student-dependent factors (such as student's perception of self and individual-temperament style preferences). By studying and practicing instructional strategies and communication skills designed to support and enhance student motivation, teachers can positively impact their student's achievement potential using tools that help them develop into confident, self-directed, engaged learners.
