Motivating Students Who Don't Care: Proven Strategies to Engage All Learners, Second Edition

In the second edition of this valuable resource, educator, author, and child psychologist Allen N. Mendler offers both time-tested and newly developed strategies for how to reignite enthusiasm in even the most unmotivated students. Educators gain fresh ideas on how to integrate social-emotional development into daily classroom instruction, use technology and digital tools to enhance learning, and reduce the anxiety students feel in our ever-changing education environment.

• Understand why students might be unmotivated in class and learn how to boost student engagement. • Examine the beliefs and five key processes for guiding and inspiring unmotivated students. • Learn about the importance of emphasizing effort in the classroom. • Learn how to build strong, trusting teacher-student relationships. Dr. Mendler uses his extensive experience working with children of all ages in regular education and special education settings to emphasize the importance in developing effective frameworks and strategies for educators, youth, professionals, and parents to help youth with learning and behavior problems succeed. Far too many students give up on learning and become the casualties of schooling that fails to motivate them, or more important, capture their imaginations in ways that imbue them with a sense of wonder and possibility around school subjects. In Motivating Students Who Don't Care, Second Edition, Allen Mendler makes the case that teachers must work to ensure students stay the course of learning and offers a myriad of strategies for achieving this critical goal. His proven and practical ideas for inspiring unmotivated learners is holistic in its scope, ranging from everyday engaging teaching practices to the more complex but essential process of building trusting relationships by connecting with students on a personal level. Since all teachers struggle with motivating students, Mendler's book will be a valuable guide to show them how it's done!
