Traditional didactic teaching methods are boring, uninteresting, and ineffectual with today's student. Nowadays, kids are turned on, tuned-in, hip, informed, and easily bored unless they are engaged, involved, and challenged.
The problems facing teachers looking to be successful in this dynamic, fast-paced, ever changing environment include dated materials, outmoded teaching methods, inadequate budgets, and increased requirements for achieving learning success.
Motivating the Unmotivated Student™ is a book written by a teacher who was looking for:
- Fun ways to get more results with less effort
- More interactivity in the classroom
- Ways to get and keep student's attention without straining her budget
The result is Motivating the Unmotivated Student™, an interactive participation manual containing dozens of easy-to-implement, no-cost, low-cost games and exercises that:
- Encourage participation
- Teach basic concepts
- Reinforce learning
- Improve basic skills by making learning fun
The author's success with this book is based on the toy industry's basic, two step philosophy for success:
- Rule #1 - A toy must be fun
- Rule #2, see rule #1.
Motivating the Unmotivated Student™ makes learning fun and when kids are having fun, they participate more, challenge themselves to improve, and learn far more than by watching or listening to an adult ramble on or read from a static textbook.
Experience it for yourself. Preview a sample exercise or watch the video where the author herself works with a group of teachers to create a no-cost game that keeps even adults occupied and engaged.
