How to Motivate Reluctant Students by Robyn Jackson

How to Motivate Reluctant Students

Robyn JacksonHow to Support Struggling Students (April 19, 2012)

Have you ever struggled to turn around a student who is in a free-fall of failure? Are some of your students struggling so much that it is now mathematically impossible for them to pass the semester? Are you are your students discouraged by interventions and remediation that just doesn't seem to work? Do you wish that there was more you could do to help your struggling learners succeed? If you've grappled with any of these issues, then this webinar is for you.

Learn how to provide students with proactive interventions that can catch them before they fall and find out what to do once they're already in a failure free fall. Take away specific intervention and remediation strategies you can use immediately to help your students turn failure into a learning and growth opportunity. In the last push before the end of the year, learn how to help your struggling learners get back on track and finish strong.

Previous Robyn Jackson Webinars

How to Motivate Reluctant Learners (September 22, 2011)
Traditional advice about motivating reluctant learners rarely works because it relies on complicated programs using rewards and punishments, carrots and sticks. In this webinar, Robyn R. Jackson shared an alternative view of motivation that helps teachers entice students to learn using their own currencies.

How to Plan Rigorous Instruction (May 12, 2011)
Rigor is one of those words that is widely used but rarely understood. We all want to increase the rigor or our instruction but many of us don't know where to start. In this webinar, Robyn R. Jackson explained what rigorous instruction is, the four stages of rigorous instruction, how to move students successfully through each of the stages, and how to build struggling students' capacity for rigorous learning over time.
