Description
Educators of underachieving gifted students in grades 6-12 find motivating them a real challenge due to their lack of interest in school. This session suggests motivation traps to encourage collaborative projects and engage students. Using a five-step process, motivation traps help students understand relevance in both the immediate school setting and future applications. By integrating motivation traps with the Autonomous Learner Model, the session advocates a student-centered curriculum as a critical ingredient to help students reach their potential in schools. This session helps attendees spark student interest and renew their appreciation for intrinsic motivation.
