Foreword Review′s 2015 Indiefab Book of the Year Award Winner!
Motivation is to learning as oxygen is to breathing
Most experts agree that student motivation and engagement are critical components of teaching and learning. Yet both are vulnerable to distraction. Effective instructional planning is also motivational planning!
Excited to Learn: Motivation and Culturally Responsive Teaching helps teachers leverage students’ natural curiosity and academic potential, featuring:
- Over 50 strategies to enhance students’ emotional safety, value for learning, engagement, and competence
- A field-tested and research-validated model to make instructional planning also motivational planning
- Abundant tools, templates, and protocols to strengthen student motivation and learning
- A clear rationale for intrinsic motivation, especially in culturally diverse classrooms
- Essential information for teaching linguistically diverse students and students who have been historically underserved
Excited to Learn begins with background on intrinsic motivation. Next, it introduces the motivational framework for culturally responsive teaching, the foundation of award-winning schools throughout the United States and abroad. Then it provides specific strategies that can be adapted to different subject areas and developmental levels. The epilogue provides guidelines for adult learning and includes an activity to introduce the book to teachers.
Support students’ curiosity, engagement, and success as life-long learners!
‘How can you work with classroom dynamics to increase your culturally diverse students’ investment in learning?
