Maximizing Motivation: How to Help Students Bounce Back From Burnout and Fuel College Success

Have you been scratching your head about how to rekindle students’ excitement about learning and increase their engagement with your course? This workshop not only expands participants' understanding of intrinsic motivation but also invites them to leverage this knowledge to best support their students. Participants walk away with a repertoire of quick, high-impact strategies that they can immediately implement in their college classrooms to activate autonomy, cultivate confidence, and boost belonging.

By the end of this workshop, participants know or be able to:

• Articulate the three key drivers of motivation.
• Recognize the signs of student burnout.
• Describe the relationship between burnout and motivation.
• Utilize evidence-based classroom strategies to tap into students’ intrinsic motivation.

Plans for Audience Participation and Interaction:
An opening icebreaker in which attendees share what motivates them; a poll in which participants select which of the three key drivers of intrinsic motivation resonates most for them; breakout rooms in which attendees identify classroom strategies that they would like to start-stop-continue in order to increase student motivation.

All workshop participants can obtain, at no additional cost:

• A digital badge and certificate that provide a web-enabled, verifiable documentation of your professional learning experience.
• CEUs, which are awarded by passing the post-workshop learning assessment with a score of 80% or better.
