When I was in High School it was mandatory that each student run/walk a mile within a certain amount of time. The majority of the students were able to, but yet there were a selected few that were extremely unmotivated and preferred the failing grade for that part of the class instead of pushing themselves to achieve that goal. As a future educator, what are some good ways I can help to motivate those selected few to push themselves? Also, what consequences should there be if the student bluntly doesn't try, but argues that they are doing their best? |

from my experience it's the energy we bring to the environment and the ability to get the students moving. Once the body gets moving, the mind turns on. Look at teaching expectations, "in the situation, max 4-5 expectation, state them in an instructive language, practice what you expect of others, emphasize expectation over the rule or test". I love the words "starter activities"Thanks Heather! |
