Motivating the UnMotivated

This was a fantastic 2 Day workshop by
Rob Plevin.
He was dynamic and engaging.

I took home 3 important points from that workshop

Build Relationship
It is important to build a relationship with the students
reach out to them,
Do it from the heart , because kids are smart these days
and the can smell a fake in seconds.

Progressive Steps
Understand the background knowledge of the student
and work from there.
Build on the foundation and give constructive comments,
opt for formative assesments over summative ones.
Tell them why they are doing this. show them the
relevance.

Expectations
This bit is the difficult one.
Approach with a positive mentality.
If you set your expectations low,
that would unfortunately be the mark where your
students would reach.

These workshops are really helpful for a newbie teacher
like me.
