The Teacher Credibility Mini-Course

   Watch Promo Register Now

Here's a pressing question: how do we help secondary students do the work of learning with care?

In most of the resources out there, the focus is really on just getting kids to do work. It's a simpler -- though far from easy -- target. After all, people can be coerced into doing things. You can dangle carrots in front of them -- grades, incentives, affirmation -- or wave sticks.

But care? That's much harder. When it comes to human beings, care cannot be coerced.

For us teachers, there's only thing to do then. We can't make students care. We can only create conditions in which care can be cultivated.

In this course, we'll examine the ten most efficient methods for strengthening the Credibility signals that you send to your students. This will improve their motivation for the work of learning AND your enjoyment of your job.

Sound good?

Let's do it.
