Motivating the unmotivated
Brilliant seminar, with great ideas that we probably all know we should be using. Has remotivated me at a point where I'm getting tired and feel that I'm running out of ideas. Thanks for a great seminar - worth the 50 minutes of my time on a Sunday afternoon!
positive teacher - successful students
I really enjoyed listening to the presentation. Examples are very interesting and practical, and above all, applicable.
Considering motivation and the role of the teacher, I wanted to share the opinion of students what do they think the 'great' teacher should be like. I came across this 'image' while making a presentation about motivation for teachers, and I liked it a lot.
It tells a lot how teachers should show a genuine interest in their students' interests and abilities, and how important is that from the position of student.
