Overcoming Our Motivation Crisis - Mike Anderson Consulting

As educators, we all want our students to be motivated. Teachers and schools often pour immense amounts of energy into trying to motivate students, yet often it seems like the more we try, the less kids care. What’s going on?

In this lively conversation with Jethro Jones, I offer some practical advice as well as a glimpse of my upcoming book (which will hopefully be released in August, 2021!) which is all about this topic.

Enjoy!
