As educators, we are faced with the question of how we can motivate our students to learn. This course introduces theories and practices to develop a deeper understanding of student motivation. In this course, educators will apply Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs along with the  Self-Determination Theory to design lessons that meet the unique needs of students. Determine how to increase the use of Review structures and principles of engagement within instruction. Explore a variety of frameworks and strategies like student-centered learning, encouraging growth mindsets, and using gamification for student success. This holistic view of student motivation can provide the tools you need to light the fire of motivation in your students!
