WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Intrinsic motivation increases when students have a voice in their learning, feel connected and valued in the classroom, and feel capable and effective when facing academic challenges. This workshop invites participants to share specific techniques for building each of these pillars of engagement in the classroom. What do you do to give students meaningful choices and help them see the relevance of their work? How do you build connections with and between students? How do you help students develop a sense of competence so that they persist when things get hard? Come prepared to share your successes and your struggles, and expect to leave this session with multiple concrete ideas that you can implement in your classroom next semester or next week! WORKSHOP FACILITATORS: Marie MacDonald (Cornell University) & Zoë Misiewicz (SUNY Oswego). NOTE: All are welcome to attend this FREE MAA Seaway NExT workshop!
