THE GIST

Hey there, colleague!

In this first video, I’m setting the stage for our journey through student motivation. I acknowledge the pain and frustration that comes when students aren’t engaged, and I want you to know you’re not alone. I’ve felt it myself just recently. But here’s the good news: there’s a lot we can do about it! This mini-course is designed with three core principles:

• first, it’s brief—ideal for working educators with limited time. The lessons are short, and the reflection questions can be tackled in just 10 to 20 minutes.
• Second, it’s timeless—this isn’t some trend or fad; the ideas here will serve you and your students for years to come.
• And third, it’s practical—every lesson is filled with actionable ideas you can immediately implement in your classroom.

So, let’s dive in, and make sure you introduce yourself in the comments below—I can’t wait to hear why you’re taking this course!
