This asynchronous, four-week course (30 hours of engagement) is designed to help educators increase student motivation in their classroom. Student motivation is one of the most common challenges teachers face – and one of the most misunderstood. This course moves beyond the idea that motivation is something students either have or don’t have and instead focuses on what educators can control within their classrooms.
Participants will explore how classroom environment, teacher language, instructional design, and daily interactions influence student engagement. Through real-world examples and practical strategies, educators will learn how to create conditions that support both immediate engagement and long-term self-motivation.
Designed for teachers across grade levels and content areas, this course emphasizes small, intentional shifts that can make a meaningful impact – without adding more to an already full plate.
